Is a Third Lebanon War on the Horizon?
Israel, the U.S., and the Hizballah-Iran-Russia triangle.
Ten years after the second Lebanon war, Hizballah is stronger than ever, with an upgraded arsenal, Russian air support, extensive fighting experience, and overland supply lines connecting it directly to Iran. Yet it is tied down in the Syrian civil war, losing men, and no longer the darling of the Arab world that it was in 2006. The U.S., meanwhile, is increasingly realigning itself with Hizballah’s Russian and Iranian protectors. Reuven Azar, Tony Badran, and Michael Doran discuss this complex situation, what it means for Israel and the region as a whole, and what the next president might do. (Moderated by Lee Smith; video, 85 minutes.)
