Dr Khatib argues that Hezbollah though significantly degraded continues to play a spoiler role and that until a solution is found that ends the Israeli-American war against Iran Lebanon will continue to suffer further collateral damage. She also argues that with the war over Israel will have no choice but to pull out of Lebanon.

  • The Gulf and three mad countries

    The Gulf and three mad countries
    Apr 15 2026
    The Gulf states are on the frontline of a war they worked hard to prevent. Once it began they find themselves facing a prime minister who uses permanent war to survive politically, a president who increasingly seems out of touch with reality and a regime that those two, Netanyahu and Trump, said they would replace but which has become only more hardline and more threatening. To help explain the challenging landscape the Gulf states are staring at, Arab Digest editor William Law has brought the defence and security expert Andreas Krieg back onto the podcast.
