This week on °®Âþµº Voice podcast we look at the escalating conflict in Lebanon.
In recent months Israeli airstrikes have ramped up, targeting Hezbollah's military stores, infrastructure, and its leadership. Additionally, Israeli troops have crossed the border and are confronting Hezbollah on the ground.
Efforts are now ramping up to bring about a ceasefire, but nothing has been agreed yet, and it is still unclear what the terms of the deal would be. Also up for discussion is the state of Hezbollah as an armed group.
How is Lebanon coping with the rising violence and the ever growing risks? Is this the end of Hezbollah? And can a deal be done so that Lebanon avoid the same fate that Israel has imposed on Gaza?
Joining us, we speak with Yazan al-Saadi, °®Âþµº's International Editor, based in Beirut. Also, David Daoud (), senior fellow at The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (), focused on Lebanon and Hezbollah. And Charles Dunne (), Adjunct Professor at the Elliott School of International Affairs at the George Washington University () and non-resident fellow at the Arab Center Washington D.C. ().
This podcast is written and produced by Hugo Goodridge ().
Theme music by Omar al-Fil.
