An opinion article discussing the fragmentation and weakness that Lebanon is experiencing as a result of the conflict between regional and international powers, and its inability to present a unified vision or project. The writer points out that Lebanon has historically been accustomed to welcoming one envoy and bidding farewell to another, with the latest station being the visit of Bilal Erdogan, son of the Turkish president, who toured official officials and popular areas. The article argues that the conflict over the relationship with the outside has its internal reflection, manifested in the dispute over the country's identity and direction: who is with the resistance and who is against it, who is with Israel and peace with it and who rejects that, and who is with the army and who is against it. It also indicates that the army itself is a subject of debates about its role and the positions of its leadership, reflecting the extent of division and the shifting of responsibilities.
