International newspapers are closely monitoring the escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, particularly following recent attacks on communication devices used by Hezbollah fighters. The ongoing conflict in Gaza adds another layer of complexity to the situation, raising concerns about a potential regional war.
Lebanon's ambassador to Britain, Rami Mortada, warned that an Israeli ground invasion of Lebanon could trigger a 'doomsday' scenario, leading to a widespread conflict and the radicalization of youth in Europe. He emphasized that Hezbollah has evolved into a powerful military force, and that the Lebanese army will not remain neutral in the event of an escalation.
Experts predict that a war between Israel and Hezbollah is imminent, with both sides aware of the other's military capabilities. The former Israeli national security adviser stressed that Israel must be fully prepared before engaging in conflict with Hezbollah, including securing international support and preparing for missile attacks.
Editorials from various international publications call for an end to the violence, urging Israel to comply with UN resolutions and consider a ceasefire in Gaza to prevent further escalation. The Washington Post highlighted the declining influence of the United States in the Middle East, emphasizing the need for Washington to maintain its leverage in the region.
