After 2005, Hezbollah became one of the March 8 groups. That year marked significant changes in Lebanon's political landscape following the assassination of Hariri. The March 8 group emerged from a gathering of Hezbollah in Beirut, as it faced opposition regarding its disarming, support of Syria, and resistance against Israeli regime. The March-8 group was an alliance consisting of Hezbollah, Amal Movement, and the Free Patriotic (Christian) Party. Later, other movements joined the alliance, including the Islamic Group of Lebanon, Islamic Unification Movement (Sunni Muslims), and the Democratic Party (Druze). Simultaneously, another alliance called the March 14 group was formed with the support of the US, France, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. The March 14 group aimed to secure the Syrian exit from Lebanon and disarm the resistance movement. Its main advocates included the Future Movement (Sunni Muslims), al-Kataeb Party, and Lebanese Forces (Christian), as well as the Progressive Socialist Party of Lebanon (Druze). | After 2005, Hezbollah became one of the March 8 groups.
