Can Israel turn tactical successes into strategic gains? | The Bottom Line
Israel was able to deal serious blows to Iran and Hezbollah, but no one should expect them to “suddenly want to cut a deal”, argues renowned political scientist Stephen Walt, professor of international affairs at Harvard University.
Walt tells host Steve Clemons that Israel will have a hard time translating the short-term tactical successes it had in late September into larger strategic gains.
With one year into the war on Gaza, direct blows between Iran and Israel, and a looming war on Lebanon, Walt says US unconditional support for Israel is threatening its long-term future.
