David Hearst, the editor-in-chief of Middle East Eye, discusses the extent to which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has advanced in creating the conditions for a regional war involving the US, Israel, Iran and the resistance movements.

Hearst reflects on Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s speech at the funeral of his deputy, Fuad Shukr, following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh. He notes the significant change in tone after Nasrallah declared that the conflict has entered a new phase due to these assassinations, warning that Israel faces the prospect of war on five simultaneous fronts.

Hearst argues that US President Joe Biden has lost control over Netanyahu and has even less ability to prevent or mitigate a regional conflict. He asserts that Netanyahu is dragging the region into a war that Israel cannot halt or win.
