US and European Policies vis-à-vis the Middle East : Israel at War – Jerusalem Studio 887
As far as the US is concerned, the Middle East is a major arena. It may wish to focus on other theatres, especially China-Taiwan and Russia-Ukraine, but too much is at stake here for it, so totally withdrawing appears to be out of the question.

Dangers Ahead? - Israel At War – Jerusalem Studio 878
Last Sunday Israel has successfully preempted and deflected an attack plan hatched by the Lebanese Iranian-proxy Hezbollah.
