Interview: Is Israel pushing Lebanon toward civil war? And how can the Lebanese thwart this scenario?

Alghad TV, July 9, 2026 (Zunes begins at 9 mins.): Does the Israeli withdrawal represent a tactical move tied to the battlefield, or does it pave the way for a broader political settlement? An analytical discussion with: Ibrahim Haidar, writer and political analyst; Mohammed Zeidan, researcher specializing in Israeli affairs; and Stephen Zunes, on the dimensions of the withdrawal and its implications for the future of the ceasefire and developments in southern Lebanon. (It’s a bit odd, in that Zunes spoke in English, yet this recording has the Arabic translation translated back into English.)
