@portia_kennedy: As Israel expands its military reach from Gaza into Syria, cracks are beginning to show in a decades-old strategy built on dominance and deterrence. In this opinion video, writer and Middle East expert Soumaya Ghannoushi unpacks the fatal flaw at the heart of Israel's doctrine: the illusion that force alone can ensure long-term security without political resolution. Featuring expert analysis and regional context, we explore how these actions may be fueling greater instability across the Middle East. Ghannoushi reminds that colonial empires do not last. What it sees as fragmentation may yet turn into unification - of resentment, of a shared realisation that the true threat is not Iran or Syria or even political Islam. "If Israel couldn't be accepted by the Arab world, it would encircle it. Israel may redraw maps, exploit minorities, strike capitals and starve children, but it cannot bomb its way into permanence and it cannot silence a region forever", Ghannoushi says. #israel #syria #middleeast #lebanon #iran
