As tensions between Israel and the Iran-backed Lebanese Shia militant group Hezbollah reach a boiling point, how likely is it that Israel will mount an invasion of Lebanon to end the threat Hezbollah poses to its northern regions? 

How will Turkey, Russia, and Iran respond to such an invasion?  How has the current war in Gaza and the potential war in Lebanon been impacting Israel's regional security environment and its ties to the Abraham Accords states? 

To answer these questions, I sat down with Irina Tsukerman, a Fellow at the Arabian Peninsula Institute and the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.
