Netanyahu knows Western allies can do little about his Lebanon invasion – it is up to him how far this goes

The Independent  

Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to the UN General Assembly in New York on Friday was a bombastic defence of Israel’s war in Gaza and the cross-border exchanges of fire with Hezbollah since 7 October. It was a message that he would repeat on Monday just hours ahead of his forces crossing Israel’s northern border – the beginning of the first invasion into Lebanon since the 2006 war with Hezbollah. The US – and allies like the UK – spent the weekend trying to avoid an Israeli ground invasion, seemingly managing to keep Israel to what it has claimed are “targeted” and “localised” raids, rather than a full-scale invasion that had apparently been on Netanyahu’s mind. The US, Israel’s staunchest ally, has repeatedly called for Israel – and Iran – to hold back, but has needed to move the goalposts every time Netanyahu has decided that he needs to go further.
