The journalist and political analyst, Qassem Kassir, said that the Israeli threats to Lebanon are part of an attempt to claim that the Israeli army is capable of confronting the Lebanese army and Hezbollah when Tel Aviv begins extracting gas from the Karish field, given that Lebanon had confirmed that it would respond to such a step. .
And the Israeli Defense Minister, Benny Gantz, had said that if Israel was forced to a military operation in Lebanon, it would be a delicate and great operation and would destroy Hezbollah.
This came at a time when the Israeli army is conducting training with the US Central Command on cooperation in the event of a military escalation with Lebanon.
In his speech to an episode of "Beyond the News" program, Qaseer added that the next battle will not be in Lebanon but inside Palestine, and there will be several fronts to confront the Israeli occupation, referring in the same context to the ongoing coordination between what he called The Resistance Axis, the Lebanese Hezbollah and the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), citing what was revealed by Muhammad Sinwar, a leader in the Qassam Brigades’ Staff, during the “What is Hidden Greatest” program entitled “Turning the Equation” that a joint operations room was taking place between the resistance axis during a battle The Sword of Jerusalem.
From the point of view of the Lebanese journalist writer, the meeting that brought together today, Thursday, the Secretary-General of the Lebanese Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, and the head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) Ismail Haniyeh is a practical response to the Israeli threats.
He described the alliance being formed between Israel, the United States of America, and Gulf and Arab countries as an alliance of the weak, and it will not reach any result, and will not serve or protect the Arabs as well, but will make those countries an arena for any future confrontation, according to the spokesman.
deterrent letter
For his part, Dr. Salim Brik, a lecturer in political science at the Open University of Haifa and an expert in Israeli affairs, classified Israel’s threats to Lebanon as falling within the framework of deterrence and showing that Israel is trying to return to its previous strategy by striking Lebanese facilities and interests to harm civilians, as well as to deter and prevent Hezbollah from Take any action on the issue of gas in the Karish field.
In the opinion of the guest of the “Beyond the News” episode, there is an Israeli concern about opening a northern front and a southern front, and it practically cannot conduct a war without losses, and therefore it is preparing diplomatically and using deterrent rhetoric in an attempt to contain Hezbollah and weaken Iran.
Brik shared what Qasir said that the alliance that he plans and brings together Gulf and Arab countries with Israel and the United States will not serve the Arabs, and that Israel wants Gulf countries - such as Bahrain and the UAE - to have a strategic depth that helps it in terms of information and intelligence, which is what Washington supports.
