Discussing Israeli attacks on Lebanon, Israeli political commentator Ori Goldberg says the “end game” for Israel is that it wants “permission to basically do whatever it wants”. “It wants an official note written by the United Nations allowing it to exercise exclusive discretion. That is the end game,” he told Al Jazeera. “The end game is not a stable Lebanese government or a stable Lebanese state. It’s providing Israeli citizens – and this for the political purposes of the current government – with the sense that only Israel ‘shapes its destiny’. That’s the end game.” Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera […]

Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara highlights the complex history of Israel’s past land invasions in Lebanon, emphasizing the disastrous outcomes for both countries. He points out that the 1982 invasion led to massacres and an 18-year occupation of southern Lebanon, while the 2006 invasion resulted in significant military losses for Israel. Bishara questions the strategic rationale behind a potential new invasion, suggesting it could be part of a broader psychological warfare tactic aimed at pressuring Hezbollah, especially after President Biden’s comments about the possibility of an “all-out war” against Lebanon.
