Is Israel Preparing For New Cycle Of Tension With Hezbollah?

Jul 9, 2025

The Jewish state renewing its war with Hezbollah is “only a question of time” veteran war correspondent Elijah J. Magnier tells Sputnik.
His key points:
• Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu sees a window of opportunity to dismantle Hezbollah’s missile/drone capabilities.
• Israel CANNOT start the war “without the support and the agreement of the US.”
• Bibi “can start ANY WAR as long as the Americans, the Germans and the British are supplying Israel with all the weapons it needs.”
• Possible response from Hezbollah? The Lebanon-based militant group’s capability “has been damaged, but NOT DESTROYED.”
• “There is NO TRUST in the Americans because they are part of the problem and they’re not the solution” as “they are taking the side of Israel.”
• Superpowers like Russia and China should work within the UN “to stop the Americans allowing the Israelis to do whatever they want.”
• There’s a danger of a Middle East map being changed, “with a complete US hegemony over the oil and traffic between West Asia and the rest of the world.”
