Tensions Rise in the Middle East Amidst Strained Relations

One year on from the October 7 attacks against Israel, the region is bracing for more war.

Meanwhile, over the weekend, Israel continued its airstrikes on Lebanon, with multiple explosions reported in the suburbs of the capital Beirut. 

Today, Israel correspondent for The Economist Anshel Pfeffer on where the Middle East is headed, and how, or if, the fighting can end.
