5: Hanin Ghaddar - “Hamas was expecting Hezbollah to follow… Hezbollah and the Iranians were planning to overwhelm Israel”

Jack Omer-Jackaman and Calev Ben-Dor talk to Lebanon expert Hanin Ghaddar, Friedman Senior Fellow at the Washington Institute and author of Hezbollahland: Mapping Dahiya and Lebanon’s Shia Community. Ghaddar explains why Hezbollah has been persuaded not to escalate the conflict on Israel’s northern border, how this has impacted the reputation of its leader Nasrallah, and the chances of a future Israeli pre-emptive strike.
