Gebran Bassil, Lebanese Foreign Minister and leader of the Free Patriotic Movement, is a vocal ally of Hezbollah, an organization the international community widely recognizes as terrorist. At the Munich Security Conference, Bassil shared his views on the Iranian-backed militia and how hosting nearly two million Syrian refugees is affecting his country. Since then, the Lebanese Justice Minister has resigned because of "Hezbollah domination in the government." But the question remains: How dangerous is Hezbollah to Lebanon's stability in the midst of a full blown political and humanitarian crisis?
