Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, in his press conference yesterday, declared a war that many in Lebanon believe was in line with Iran and Syria?s strategies. Last night on al-Hurra TV, I developed the real 4 reasons for this war across the Lebanese-Israeli border:
1. Iran is concerned about the nuclear crisis and wants to deflate the issue away.
2. Syria is concerned about the Hariri murder investigation and wishes to postpone its results.
3. Hizbollah is concerned about the call for disarming its militias and therefore decided to flare up the conflict with Israel.
4. Finally, Hamas was sinking in crisis with Mahmoud Abbas and Fatah. Thus a Jihad against Israel was the solution.
