Lebanon Entangled in Conflict with Israel and Iran
Hezbollah has resumed its attacks on Israel, amid ongoing military operations in southern Lebanon and parts of Beirut. The Lebanese government has issued warnings about the conflict, but Hezbollah has joined forces with Iran to counter Israeli aggression.
According to Hezbollah, it is exercising its right to respond as part of a resistance campaign. In response, the Lebanese government has taken steps to ban the group’s military activities and demand disarmament. However, Hezbollah has not complied with these demands.
The involvement of Hezbollah in the conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran has raised questions about its potential impact on Tehran. The armed group’s actions may provide some benefits to Iran, but at what cost to Lebanon? Experts will discuss this issue during a live discussion.
Guests include Heiko Wimmen, project director for Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon at the International Crisis Group; Nimrod Novik, member of the leadership of Commanders for Israel’s Security; and Nabeel Khoury, non-resident fellow at the Arab Center Washington DC.
