WorldView: Israel's war against Hezbollah: The sticking point in US-Iran talks. What is Bibi's calculus?

from ThePrint · host ThePrint

As war drags on across the Gulf, Israel's military campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon is emerging as a major challenge to talks on a US-Iran deal. With Israeli elections approaching and regional uncertainty deepening, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears determined to weaken, if not eliminate, Hezbollah's military capabilities. But is this objective achievable, and what are the wider implications for US-Iran diplomacy, regional stability, and Israel's security? In this episode of ThePrint Worldview with Swasti, ThePrint Consulting Editor Dr Swasti Rao speaks with Amos Davidowitz, an Israeli Reserve Commander, to unpack Israel's strategic calculations, Hezbollah's resilience, and the impact of the conflict on President Trump's efforts to secure a deal with Iran. As diplomacy and military action collide, the conversation explores whether the war in Lebanon could reshape the regional balance of power and derail prospects for a broader diplomatic breakthrough.
