Prof. Kobi Michael discusses the precarious stalemate in Lebanon, where Israel’s military actions are constrained by American diplomatic interests while Hezbollah continues to exploit the situation within a failed Lebanese state.
He also explores the asymmetric strategic partnership between the U.S. and Israel, emphasizing their shared objective of facilitating the required conditions for a regime change led by the Iranian people. Such an effort obliges a combination of diplomatic maneuvers with military and economic pressures and providing the required support for the Iranian people in order to enable it to topple down the regime.
