My comments on the recent developments in the Iran war with US-Israel, some insight on the Hizballah involvement, and the possibilities of the Gulf states joining the efforts against Iran, and how this campaign could develop, with a panel, on ILTV News

@hahussain Thank you! Hopefully it's the beginning of a long overdue conversation between our people. Hezbollah's time is up.

Very prescient analysis about Hezbollah by my friend Iftah Burman @IPalmah:
"As Lebanon’s government prepares to expand state efforts to disarm Hezbollah north of the Litani River, Hezbollah official Mahmoud Qomati said such a move could lead to a civil war, joining a chorus of warnings from the party. However, these threats were met with disdain by opposing politicians, suggesting Hezbollah’s domestic political deterrence has waned.
Given these dynamics, the risk is rising that Hezbollah could reactivate its assassination unit to intimidate or eliminate political opponents advocating the group’s disarmament, including independent Shia figures who resist pressure to abandon political campaigns against the party."

Today on @ILTVNews panel with Eric Mandel, I spoke about Kuwait's act against Hizballah, and discussed Netanyahu’s DC visit, Hamas disarmament, strikes against Hizballah, US-Iran negotiations, and do you negotiate with terrorists? https://t.co/4FLk7qeKyg

Whether Maduro was grabbed because of oil or drugs, his regime has a long history w/ Hizballah, its criminal activity, its terrorists training camps, and circumventing sanctions on Iran. More on the Venezuela-Hezbollah connection in my article https://t.co/TZrqJpCWKt

@ILTVNews had me in studio tonight speaking on the prospects of the Syrian agreement and the possibility of a major IDF campaign against Hizballah. Let me know your thoughts.

Naim Qasim's appointment could signal a new phase for Hizballah and the Iranian involvement in Lebanon, if the Lebanese state and Western countries intervene in time to leverage it. I24 interview with me in Heberew.

Thread: 1/ @AvichayAdraee published a warning that IDF will start targeting the Al-Qard Al-Hasan financial institutions. @VOANews @Michael_Lipin can tell you this has started a while ago.
Why is this important?
AQAH is Hizballah's ATM, turning illicit money into terror...

6/ there are plenty of choke points to stop Hizballah's money. Terrorist Wadah Yunes told IDF last week, as he crawled out of his Hizballah tunnel, that he joind the org because "Hizballah is the only one in Lebanon that pays money". @IDF Stop the money.

5/ so did Hizballah's rich financiers. Sailing their yachts back to Turkey, Eastern Europe and West Africa. But AQAH's branches are just the beginning, 32 altogether. Syrian Captagon, heroine and cocain labs, Lebanese counterfeit dens, Levant exchange agencies, crypto wallets...
