Israel vs. Hezbollah: The Next Gaza?

In this episode of What Matters Today, we dive into the escalating
conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Israeli army
has intensified strikes on Hezbollah targets, leading to
devastating civilian casualties. We explore the complex historical
and geopolitical context behind this escalation and ask critical
questions: Is Lebanon at risk of becoming the next Gaza? Could
Israel face a prolonged conflict, and how might this impact Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership both at home and abroad?
We also discuss the potential short- and medium-term consequences
for the Middle East and consider how the United States may position
itself in this evolving conflict. Our guest is Cyrus Schayegh,
Professor of International History and Politics, and Chair of the
Department of International History and Politics at the Geneva
Graduate Institute.
