Brief Analysis
Watch an expert conversation exploring the risks and implications of further escalation between Israel and Hezbollah across the Israeli-Lebanese border.
As main battle operations in Gaza wind down, rising tensions and heightened rhetoric between Hezbollah and Israel are threatening to escalate into open warfare. To discuss the prospects for major conflict across the Israel-Lebanon border, its implications for regional security, and the potential for a diplomatic off-ramp, The Washington Institute hosted a virtual Policy Forum moderated by Research Director Dana Stroul and including the following speakers:
Hanin Ghaddar, the Institute’s Friedmann Senior Fellow and co-creator of its interactive map tracking clashes along the Israel-Lebanon border
Matthew Levitt, the Institute’s Fromer-Wexler Fellow, director of its Reinhard Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, and host of its podcast Breaking Hezbollah’s Golden Rule
Brig. Gen. Assaf Orion (IDF, Res.), the Institute’s Rueven International Fellow and former head of the Israel Defense Forces Strategic Planning Division
David Schenker, the Institute’s Taube Senior Fellow and director of its Rubin Program on Arab Politics; former assistant secretary for Near Eastern affairs at the State Department and Levant country director at the Pentagon
The Policy Forum series is made possible through the generosity of the Florence and Robert Kaufman Family.
