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. That would certainly spark a civil war, […]

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 […]

Canaan Lidor Times of Israel, June 17, 2024 “October 7 gave us an existential jolt because it unveiled the danger with which we had been living for years. I assumed Hezbollah would invade imminently, and I knew we had no forces that could stop them.” To the sound of birds chirping, Asaf Ben Lulu […]
Michael Makovsky and Blaise Misztal The Hill, June 15, 2024 “With Tehran now capable of enriching up to a bomb’s worth of fissile material in less than two weeks, Israel might not be able to wait much longer to prevent a nuclear Iran.” Gaza is but one front in a wider Iran-Israel conflict that is […]
