Israel’s 7 Front War - Lebanon w/Robert Rabil

Robert Rabil, Professor of Middle East studies at the Florida Atlantic University, and Rick Richman, resident scholar at AJU and the author of "Racing Against History: The 1940 Campaign for a Jewish Army to Fight Hitler", discuss Lebanon and Hezbollah. Part 6 of 7 in the Israel's 7 Front War series.

Tehran not only dominates four Arabic-speaking countries (Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen) but has reached new levels of aggression in the past half-year, starting with the Oct. 7 atrocity and followed by the bombing of Pakistan, impeding commerce in the Red Sea, and a drone and missile attack on Israel. Khamenei aspires to build a “Ring of Fire” around Israel, mobilizing seven territories working together to bring about Israel’s destruction. How successful is this plan? Does the sum add up to more than the parts? How can Israel most effectively respond?

Dr. Robert Rabil is a professor of Middle East studies at the Florida Atlantic University’s Department of Political Science. He received his master’s degree in government from the Harvard University Extension School and his doctorate in Near Eastern and Judaic studies from Brandeis University.
