SUMMARY:The Looming Israel-Hezbollah War:   Prospects\, Deterrence\, and
  Impacts
DESCRIPTION:VIRTUAL\n\nAbout This Webinar\n\nIt has been almost nine months
  since attacks and counterattacks began between Israel and Hezbollah on
  the Israeli-Lebanese border. While both sides have said that they would
  like to avoid an all-out war\, the prospects of such a possibility are in
 creasing daily. Threats and counterthreats abound\, with Israeli leaders
  vowing to return Lebanon to the stone age if said war commences and th
 ose of Hezbollah promising to reach every worthy target in Israel. Alread
 y\, Israel has destroyed many Lebanese border villages and displaced almos
 t 100\,000 people\, while Hezbollah attacks have resulted in the abando
 nment of Israeli border towns by tens of thousands of Israelis who have mo
 ved to other areas of the country.\n\nWith the Israeli war on Gaza contin
 uing to kill Gazans and destroy any semblance of organized human existence
  without achieving any military or political objectives\, it is hard to se
 e how Israel’s leaders can think of starting another with Hezbollah. Fro
 m its side\, and pledging adherence to the “unity of the fronts” conc
 ept\, Hezbollah vows that it will not end its attacks until Israel ends i
 ts war on Gaza. Both sides are indeed primed for a confrontation. On the 
 other hand\, diplomatic efforts by the United States\, the United Nations\
 , France\, and others continue but have not yet produced the conditions ne
 cessary for a sustainable cessation of hostilities.\n\nArab Center Washing
 ton DC is convening a panel of experts to discuss the escalation on the Is
 rael-Lebanon border and the potential for an all-out war. Panelists will a
 lso explore the ongoing efforts for deterrence and their prospects\, as we
 ll as the political\, humanitarian\, and regional implications of further 
 escalation.\n\nPanelists\n\nJoseph Bahout: Associate Professor of Practice
  and Director of the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and Internati
 onal Affairs (IFI)\, American University of Beirut\n\nRola El-Husseini: As
 sociate Professor\, Department of Political Science\, Lund University\n\nP

 em: Vice President for International Engagement\, Middle East Institute (M
 EI)\n\nModerator\n\nImad K. Harb: Director of Research and Analysis\, Arab
