The prospect of the Israel-Palestine war escalating into a broader Middle Eastern conflict has become more likely by events such as Israel’s recent terror attack that blasted communication devices in Lebanon. Israel has declared a “new phase of the war” and is moving toward all-out war with Hezbollah.
Why is Israel pushing for escalation and why is the US not stopping it despite expressing concern? How should we view Hezbollah and Iran in the conflict with Israel? We will discuss how the Palestine solidarity movement should take a stance on the escalation and where does hope lie for Palestine.
