Lebanon’s caretaker Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib has issued a stark warning about the catastrophic consequences of a full-blown Israeli war on Lebanon.
As tensions escalate between Hezbollah and the Tel Aviv regime, Bou Habib highlights the potential for widespread devastation not only in Lebanon but also in Israel, Jordan, and Syria.
In an exclusive interview with al-Monitor, he stresses the urgent need for dialogue and peaceful solutions to prevent a regional conflict that could involve multiple external parties.
Join us as we delve into the implications of this critical warning and the ongoing efforts to maintain stability along Lebanon’s southern border.
Deadly violence erupted in Jaramana, a Druze and Christian-majority suburb near Damascus, after a leaked audio recording allegedly insulting Islamic religious figures triggered outrage. On April 28, reports say Islamist HTS forces stormed the area, leading to intense gunfire and shelling that lasted around 30 minutes. At least four Druze fighters were killed, with unverified reports suggesting dozens injured or over 20 dead. The incident highlights rising sectarian tensions under HTS rule in Syria, as the region remains on edge following similar clashes in March.

Israel has killed Hussein Ali Nasr, the Deputy Chief of Hezbollah’s Unit 4400, in a precision drone strike in southern Lebanon. The attack targeted a vehicle in Kaouthariyet El-Saiyad and comes amid mounting tensions and over 2,700 reported Israeli ceasefire violations since November 27. Israel claims Nasr was a key figure in smuggling weapons from Iran via Syria and Iraq. The strike was followed by additional attacks on Houla, Iqlim al-Tuffah, and Arnoun, devastating civilian areas and raising fears of full-scale conflict.

In a powerful statement at the UN, Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative, Maria Zabolotskaya, condemned Western countries for their "double standards" in addressing the global refugee crisis. Highlighting the devastating impact of the Gaza conflict, she criticized the reluctance of Western nations to provide sufficient humanitarian aid to refugees, particularly those fleeing from war-torn regions like Syria, Afghanistan, and Sudan. Zabolotskaya also pointed out the hypocrisy in Western countries voicing concern over Ukrainian refugees while ignoring the plight of those seeking asylum in Russia. She called out the EU's failure to provide adequate support to refugees, especially those crossing the Mediterranean, and the deadly consequences of this inaction. With lives at stake and no accountability, the international community must confront the moral and legal crisis unfolding before our eyes.

U.S- Iran War: United States may request Turkey to remain neutral and avoid interference in Syrian airspace if a conflict with Iran erupts, Hurriyet reports. The matter could be discussed during an upcoming meeting between President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Donald Trump. Erdoğan is reportedly opposed to any Israeli aggression against Iran, calling it regionally destabilizing. Trump is expected to visit Turkey in May following trips to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE. If not, Erdoğan may head to Washington in June for crucial bilateral talks focused on the Middle East.

Just days before crucial nuclear talks, Iran has escalated tensions by transferring long-range missiles to Shia militias in Iraq. This bold move challenges U.S. and Israeli interests and reshapes the regional power game. The Times reports that the missiles crossed the Iran-Iraq border last week. While Tehran faces growing U.S. pressure and weakened allies like Hamas and Hezbollah, it now leans on Iraqi proxies. Trump has responded with renewed threats, saying military action is on the table. Iraq remains stuck in the middle of this high-stakes geopolitical showdown.

Israel has firmly rejected a proposed five-year ceasefire with Hamas, calling it a cover for the group to rearm. The Arab-mediated proposal, backed by Egypt and Qatar, reportedly included the release of Israeli hostages. But Israeli officials insist Hamas’ long-term intentions remain hostile. Hostage families criticized the government’s stance, calling it planless. With Israel resuming attacks on Gaza, the humanitarian crisis deepens. Over 51,000 Palestinians have died since October 7. As the war escalates, hopes for peace remain elusive amid growing international concern over Gaza’s worsening conditions.

The United States has greenlit a new shipment of over 3,000 powerful munitions to Israel, including MK-84 bombs tied to mass casualties in Gaza. The move comes as Tel Aviv signals a “vigorous expansion” of its assault on the Gaza Strip. Israeli forces have now surrounded Rafah and are advancing with major brigades. The humanitarian toll has surged, with thousands of Palestinians killed or injured. This arms transfer is part of a broader package aimed at reinforcing Israel's arsenal amid growing regional escalations, also involving Syria and Lebanon.

Israel’s Power Struggle: Israel is witnessing a major political storm after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attempted to fire Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar-a move now blocked by the Supreme Court. The fallout has triggered legal challenges, mass protests in Tel Aviv and occupied al-Quds, and fresh scrutiny around the explosive “Qatargate” scandal.
Bar has accused Netanyahu of pressuring him to mislead the court, while two of the PM’s aides have been arrested over alleged secret payments. As tensions rise, the court is set to decide Bar's fate on April 8.
Is this a constitutional crisis in the making? Who really controls Israel’s internal security? Watch as we break down the legal, political, and public dimensions of this unfolding crisis.
