After four week of war, a ceasefire between Iran and the US has been reached.
While the details remain hazy, it is a welcome development, and the region has taken a step back from the edge. But in Lebanon, the bombing continues.
The ceasefire deal would not include the war in Lebanon, where Israel would be free to continue its war against Hezbollah.
This week, what does Israel want in Lebanon? Can Hezbollah be disarmed? And what can the Lebanese government do to bring peace and stability to its lands?
Joining us to discuss Hezbollah and the options for the Lebanese government is Yezid Sayigh (@SayighYezid), Senior fellow at the Malcolm H Kerr Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut (@CarnegieMEC).
And to give us the view from Israel, we speak with Mairav Zonszein (@MairavZ), Senior Analyst on Israel for International Crisis Group (@CrisisGroup) and a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times (@nytimes).
This podcast is written and produced by Hugo Goodridge (@hugogoodridge).
Theme music by Omar al-Fil with additional music from Audio Network.
