Israel and Lebanon are prepping for a war neither wants, but many fear it's becoming inevitable
The prospect of a full-scale war between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah militia terrifies people on both sides of the border, but some see it as an inevitable fallout.
The prospect of a full-scale war between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah militia terrifies people on both sides of the border, but some see it as an inevitable fallout from Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas in Gaza.
Such a war could be the most destructive either side has ever experienced.
Israel and Hezbollah each have lessons from their last war, in 2006, a monthlong conflict that ended in a draw. They’ve also had four months to prepare for another war, even as the United States tries to prevent a widening of the conflict.

No one wants this war, or wishes it on anyone,” said Tal Beeri of the Alma Research and Education Center
Bit naive imo. Netanyahu is a bit of a strongman that catastrophically failed to keep his people safe, which betrays the most foundational appeal of such a figure. His approval rating demonstrates this, and he's facing criminal charges to boot.
He has one route forward for personal preservation--more war.
I think the article meant the citizens don't want this war cuz it'll bring nothing but misery
What does personal preservation imply in this case? Escaping criminal charges?
Why not pardon him then? If nobody wants a war, that seems like a natural way to escape the so called catch 22 here.
War, especially lengthy war, is not good for any nation. There's no benefit. It's in Israelis best interests to not keep it going long.
