‘IT’S the tail that is wagging the dog’ aptly describes the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The reality is that America is fighting Israel’s war. The Zionist state not only acts as a spoiler but also effectively dictates the terms of war and peace in the region. A recent example of this is Israel’s military escalation in Lebanon, which has not only complicated diplomatic efforts to resolve the US-Iran conflict, but has also broadened the theatre of war. Despite President Donald Trump’s claims of having halted the conflict, the war continues. Israeli forces have occupied a significant portion of Lebanon, and relentless bombings have devastated Beirut, effectively undermining the US-brokered ceasefire. Incensed by Israel’s blatant violation of the ceasefire, Iran has suspended its back-channel negotiations with the US and warned that it could “completely block” the Strait of Hormuz, aggravating tensions. Tehran asserts that any peace talks are directly linked to a ceasefire in Lebanon and Israel’s withdrawal from the region. Additionally, Iran has threatened to strike Israel if the war in Lebanon is not halted. Hours later, Trump stated that he had urged Israel to cease its offensive; however, there are no signs of an end to the hostilities. Last week, Israel captured the 900-year-old Beaufort Castle and its strategic ridge in southern Lebanon. Israeli forces used the castle, also known as Qalaat al-Shaqif, as a base during their two-decade occupation of southern Lebanon that ended in 2000. Israel’s latest military escalation is not limited to Lebanon; it extends to Gaza. It marks Israel’s deepest incursion into the country in 26 years, and there appears to be no end to its aggression, which has received Washington’s approval. The conflict with Iran has now effectively been extended to the Levant. Israel entered Lebanon under the pretext of combating Hezbollah, the pro-Iran group based in southern Lebanon. Last year, Israel killed nearly all of the group’s senior leaders, including its head. While Israel claimed to have completely dismantled Hezbollah’s structure, recent retaliatory attacks by the group indicate that, despite these setbacks, it remains capable of fighting back. Additionally, Israel has incurred significant casualties from its invasion, with reports indicating that 26 soldiers have been killed thus far. Hezbollah was formed in 1982 in response to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, which aimed to dismantle the Palestinian Liberation Organisation. The group quickly emerged as a powerful resistance movement and a dominant force in Lebanese politics. Its resistance efforts ultimately led to Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon, ending Tel Aviv’s occupation of the southern region in 2000. Although Hezbollah receives backing from Iran, it has maintained its political independence. The ongoing US-Israel conflict with Iran has involved Hezbollah militarily against Israel. A ceasefire in April temporarily halted hostilities, but Israel’s recent aggression has effectively ended this truce. Despite suffering losses among its commanders in recent weeks, Hezbollah remains capable of fighting back without external assistance. Israel has issued displacement orders and evacuation warnings for approximately 14 to 15 per cent of Lebanon’s territory. Additionally, Israeli forces continue to occupy specific strategic locations in southern Lebanon. As a result of the ongoing conflict, more than one million people have been displaced within the country, including over 300,000 children, further aggravating the humanitarian crisis. Israel’s latest military escalation is not limited to Lebanon; it extends to Gaza. Israel has not complied with the ceasefire agreement reached last year, nor has it withdrawn its forces to the designated area in the occupied territory. The Israeli military continues to conduct strikes and seize territory despite a ceasefire with Hamas. More than 1,000 people have been killed in ongoing Israeli bombings after the truce. Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military to extend its control to 70pc of the Gaza Strip. Under the ceasefire agreement reached last October, after two years of intense conflict, Israel was left with control over 53pc of the enclave until the time an administration was established under the Board of Peace, with the approval of the Security Council. Netanyahu recently boasted at a conference that Israel had expanded its grip on Gaza, stating, “We are now in 60pc of the territory”. He said: “My directive is to move to — take it step by step — first of all 70. Let’s start with that.” The audience called for him to take over 100pc of the territory. Many of Netanyahu’s right-wing supporters view the current situation in Gaza as ‘mission incomplete’ or ‘mission failure’. Their preference is for Israel to expand its area of control, even resume military action in Gaza. Netanyahu’s remarks come at a time when Gaza’s rehabilitation plan has stalled; in fact, it never started. According to media reports, there are no funds available for the Board of Peace’s (BoP) executive board to initiate rebuilding efforts. It is estimated that around $70 billion is needed to rehabilitate the enclave, which has been devastated by Israel’s two-year military campaign. The project was supposed to take 10 years to complete, but Israel’s plan for military occupation makes Gaza’s restoration impossible. Earlier this year, Trump formally launched the BoP at the World Economic Forum in Davos, describing it as one of the “most consequential” international organisations ever created. Member states pledged $7 billion for its Gaza “relief package”, and Trump promised an additional $10bn in US funding. However, so far, the fund established by the World Bank has received no contributions. Israel’s recent move to re-establish military control over the war-ravaged enclave has rendered the entire project redundant. Trump expanded the BoP’s scope beyond the Security Council’s authority, which had limited its jurisdiction to Gaza. Only 25 countries have signed on, while others refused to be a part of the board, suspecting it was an attempt to undermine the UN. The war in Iran has not only effectively derailed the so-called Gaza rehabilitation plan but has also exposed the BoP as a cover for America’s imperialistic agenda. A critical question now is whether America can extricate itself from this war, which it initiated at Israel’s behest and has since become entangled in.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged the United States to provide more ammunition for its Patriot air defence systems to counter Russian ballistic missiles, according to a document reviewed by AFP on Wednesday. The appeal underscores Ukraine’s almost total reliance on its Western allies to down Russian missile barrages, despite having pioneered a system for intercepting long-range drones that is the envy of some of the world’s most advanced militaries. The request comes just days after one of the worst combined missile and drone attacks launched against Kyiv since the Russia-Ukraine war more than four years ago, which wrought devastation across the capital. In a letter dated May 26 and addressed to US President Donald Trump, Zelensky asked Washington to “help us secure this vital tool of protection against Russian terror — Patriot missiles PAC-3 and additional systems — to stop Russian ballistic missiles and other Russian missile attacks.” Zelensky conceded in the five-page document, which was also addressed to Congress, that: “When it comes to defending against ballistic missiles, we rely almost exclusively on the United States.” “And it is in Ukrainian hands that Patriot systems have proven something extremely important: The majority of Russian missiles can be stopped,” the Ukrainian leader added. Zelensky’s appeal comes at a turbulent moment in ties between Ukraine and the United States. Trump re-entered the White House last year vowing to bring about a speedy end to Russia’s invasion — now grinding through its fifth year. ‘Hard to find missiles’ But US-led efforts to bring Kyiv and Moscow back to the negotiating table have been derailed by the US and Israeli war with Iran, as well as a failure to make progress on key sticking points towards any peace deal, in particular who would control swathes of eastern Ukraine. Both sides have stepped up their long-range drone and missile attacks since a series of bilateral talks mediated by the US earlier this year appeared to stall. In separate comments to AFP, a senior official within the Ukrainian presidency conceded that finding ammunition for advanced air defence systems supplied by Kyiv’s Western allies was “complicated.” “It’s just hard to find missiles right now when there are so many other orders in the Gulf and other places like that,” the source said. “And the supplies through PURL have slowed down as well,” the source added, referring to a procurement system whereby Ukraine’s European allies can purchase weapons from the United States on behalf of Kyiv. The war in the Middle East, which saw US allies expend huge quantities of air defence ammunition protecting sites in the Gulf, has exacerbated a shortage Ukraine has faced since the start of the war. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s success in drone warfare has attracted the attention of rich Gulf states that have been targeted with the same types of Iranian-designed drones that Ukraine is now well versed in countering.

Condemnations poured in on Sunday after suicide attack in Quetta claimed more than 10 lives and left several others injured, with global actors expressing solidarity with Pakistan. The attack targeted a shuttle train, with images following the blast showing a mangled train carriage on its side as people clambered over the wreckage to find survivors. People could be seen carrying blood-soaked victims on stretchers away from a derailed car, while security personnel stood guard. Images from the scene also showed burnt-out vehicles, damaged residential buildings and twisted metal and debris scattered near the railway track, with smoke rising from the wreckage. President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the attack in separate statements, expressing the resolve to continue the fight against terrorism. Condemnations poured in from others as well, with the Chinese embassy in Pakistan extending “deep condolences to the deceased victims and sincere sympathies to the bereaved families”. “We firmly oppose any form of terrorism and will, as always, firmly support Pakistan in combating terrorism and protecting the safety of the people. We stand firmly with our Pakistani brothers and sisters at this moment,” the embassy’s statement on X said. UK High Commissioner Jane Mariott said she was “absolutely appalled” by the attack. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the martyrs and their families,” Mariott wrote in a post on X. Meanwhile, the Russian embassy in Pakistan condemned the attack, expressing hope that the perpetrators would be “identified and brought to justice”. “We extend our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims and wish all those injured a speedy recovery,” the embassy further said in a post on X. The Turkish foreign ministry, condemning the attack, said: “We are deeply saddened by the loss of lives caused by the terrorist attack targeting a passenger train today (May 24) in Balochistan. “We strongly condemn this heinous attack, wish God’s mercy upon those who lost their lives, and extend our condolences to their families and to the people of Pakistan.” It emphasised that such attacks targeting the peace and stability of the region were “utterly unacceptable” and reiterated Turkiye’s “solidarity with Pakistan in the fight against terrorism”. Australian High Commissioner Timothy Kane also expressed solidarity with Pakistan. “Deeply saddened by the tragic terrorist attack in Quetta,” Kane wrote on X, saying that Australia stood with Pakistan “at this difficult time”. “We extend heartfelt condolences to those who lost loved ones and wish a full and swift recovery to those who were injured,” he said. Iran’s envoy to Pakistan, Reza Amiri Moghadam, condemned the attack on behalf of the Iranian government, offering condolences to the government and people of Pakistan, “especially to the bereaved families”. In a post on X, Moghadam further stated, “The malicious and mischievous acts against the civil transportation infrastructure that serve for the human development and the smooth movements of the passengers and consignments needed for the development of trade, are examples of crimes against humanity and reflect the malicious, infirm and inhumane minds of the perpetrators, founders and supporters of this heinous phenomenon”. “My sincere [prayers] for the safe and speedy recovery of the injured,” he added. The Afghan foreign ministry also issued a condemnatory statement, saying “the killing and wounding of civilians, whether by anyone and in any form, is condemnable”. In his condemnation, KP Chief Minister Sohail Afridi expressed “heartfelt sympathy” and extended condolences to the bereaved families. “This cowardly incident of terrorism is a heinous crime against humanity,” he said. PPP Senator Sherry Rehman also condemned the attack, terming it an act of “grisly brutality”. “Innocent citizens, so far mostly women and children, have lost their lives in this act of grisly brutality. They were travelling for Eid,” the PPP leader said in a post on X. She continued: “Pakistan has borne many such tragedies with courage and resolve to fight back. But who are the perpetrators of such shameful crimes that target innocent citizens?” She warned that as more details surface, “all the sponsors of such terrorism will be exposed,” however, she warned that perpetrators should know that Pakistani citizens had “spines of steel”. “We are probably the most resilient people on this earth. We have won many counter-terrorism battles before; we will win this war, too. Again and again,” Rehman said.
