Prof. Kobו Michael argues that the conflicts in Iran and Lebanon are deeply interrelated, necessitating an expanded Israeli military campaign north of the Litani River to effectively disarm Hezbollah and secure northern border communities.

While acknowledging the United States’ overwhelming naval dominance in the Strait of Hormuz, Michael emphasizes that Israel remains skeptical of negotiations and may support a resumed military offensive if diplomacy fails to halt Iran’s nuclear program and proxy support.

The full interview took place on ILTV on May 4, 2026.
