Jacob Olidort The National Interest, June 25, 2024 “From the perspective of this end state of fostering planning paralysis, Israel’s objective of eradicating Hamas in Gaza not only eliminates a fundamental security threat but also rids Iran of a proxy on Israel’s doorstep, thereby complicating Iran’s efforts to attack Israel while diminishing Iran’s footprint in […]
Seth Cropsey WSJ, June 25, 2024 “By manipulating the U.S. into restraining Israel, Iran hopes to keep Israel frozen and slowly erode its will.

“The group has an arsenal of 200,000 rockets and missiles, a fleet of deadly drones, roughly 1,500 precision-guided munitions, and well-trained fighters. Some estimates suggest that Hezbollah’s power is tantamount to a midsize European army. The Lebanese Armed Forces can therefore never forcibly disarm, relocate, or restrain Hezbollah.

Yoni Ben Menachem Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, June 24, 2024 “Nasrallah’s goal is to ground Israeli aircraft to prevent them from conducting missions in Lebanon against mid- and long-range missile launchers.” Hizbullah, under the leadership of Hassan Nasrallah, is coordinating with Iran to open a new front against Israel in the Mediterranean Sea. The […]
David Daoud and Jonathan Schanzer The Dispatch, June 20, 2024 “… the international community’s fixation on futile deals has only whetted Hezbollah’s appetite for violence.” Let’s not mince words: The Middle East is on the precipice of the most destructive war of the region’s modern history. This war did not begin on October 7. It actually began […]
Yonah Jeremy Bob Jerusalem Post, June 24, 2024 “Rogue or not, Brown said what many American officials are authentically feeling and thinking right now, and that is why there will be no retraction.” It should be said from the outset that US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General CQ Brown has been a friend of […]
Nahal Toosi, Erin Banco and Lara Seligman Politico, June 24, 2024 “This time, however, the Israelis appear more dug in, though it’s possible that the U.S. could affect what type and size of operation they undertake.” U.S. officials trying to prevent a bigger Middle East war are issuing an unusual warning to Hezbollah: Don’t assume […]
