I think he rest of the Lebanese factions are slowly being manouvered into having to take on Hezbollah. With cover from the 'cease fire' resolution, the Isrealis can continue to pound Hezbollah and we acn arm the Christian, Sunni and Druze factions to finish of Nasrallah.

With a modicum of luck, Nasrallah will be dead or hiding in Teheran within six months, assuming that city still exists.

I think that Hezbollah is generally as welcome in Lebanon as was the Taliban in Afghanistan. No one likes their country to be at war, but the people in Afghanistan are glad the Taliban has been largely neutralized, and I deeply believe that most people in Lebanon strongly wish for Hezbollah to be neutralized.

Nasrallah obviously knows that his own fate is linked to what happens to Hezbollah. But from here on out, each fighter that is killed weakens him also. A cease fire, a total cease fire with the disarming of Hezbollah, is his best hope to survive as a leader, and to eventually reconstitute them as a fighting force. Of course, this would not exactly please Tehran or Damascus, but he has to choose soon. He knows his time is running out.
