Tensions in Lebanon have reached a boiling point as a new deal with Israel sparks widespread protests in the capital city of Beirut. The agreement, which aims to demarcate maritime borders and unlock significant oil and gas reserves, has been met with fierce resistance from many Lebanese citizens who view it as a betrayal of the country's sovereignty and a concession to its longtime enemy. Protesters are taking to the streets, waving flags and chanting slogans against the government, which they believe has sold out to foreign interests. As the situation continues to escalate, it remains to be seen whether the deal will ultimately benefit the Lebanese people or further entrench the country's economic woes.
