Leila Nicolas on 'Israel's' aggression on Beirut

Leila Nicolas, lecturer and author in international affairs, tells Al Mayadeen that “Israel” is now turning to political pressure, via ceasefires, US influence, and diplomatic tools, to secure what it failed to achieve on the battlefield. She says the escalation of airstrikes and assassinations, including the targeting of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, marks a shift in strategy amid its failures on the ground. Despite the losses inflicted on civilians, Nicolas argues that the intensified attacks have led to a rare moment of political clarity in Lebanon.
