In a recent discussion, experts Lara Friedman and Roxane Farmanfarmanian highlighted the escalating conflicts in the Middle East, particularly in Lebanon and Gaza, and the role of the US in providing unwavering support to Israel. According to Friedman, as long as the US continues to give Israel “total impunity,” there will be no end to the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, as well as the bloodshed in Lebanon.
Farmanfarmanian adds that one of the factors preventing an all-out war in the region is Iran’s pursuit of its own interests and desire to reconcile with the US. This stance by Iran may serve as a buffer against further escalation of conflicts in the Middle East.
The experts discuss the possibility of ongoing instability and conflict in the region, noting that the peoples of the Middle East may need to brace themselves for continued turmoil in the years to come. The conversation sheds light on the complex dynamics at play in the region, and the importance of considering all factors, including US support for Israel, Iran’s interests, and the impact on the people living in these conflict zones.
As tensions continue to rise in the Middle East, it is essential to listen to the insights of experts like Friedman and Farmanfarmanian to gain a better understanding of the situation and explore potential paths towards peace and stability in the region.
