The Biden administration has been accused of fully backing, enabling, and empowering the Netanyahu government in its escalating military campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon. After Israel reportedly killed Hezbollah’s leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and several other top commanders, the country has intensified its attacks on targets in Lebanon.
The attacks have dealt significant blows to Hezbollah, killing much of its leadership and exposing security vulnerabilities. Israel’s defence minister is reportedly considering expanding the offensive, which has raised concerns about the potential for a regional war to break out.
In an effort to shed light on the situation, Dr. Gilbert Achcar, an Author, Researcher, and Professor of Development Studies and International Relations at SOAS University of London, joined FRANCE 24 to discuss the escalating tensions in the region.
As the conflict continues to escalate, it is crucial for international leaders to take steps to de-escalate the situation and prevent further violence from erupting. The situation in the Middle East remains volatile, and the actions of powerful nations such as the United States will have a significant impact on the outcome of the conflict.
