To end Israel-Hezbollah conflict, the war in Gaza must ‘end’: Analyst

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah says his fighters are ready for a wider war against Israel. The Israeli army and Lebanon-based Hezbollah have been fighting on the border since the war in Gaza began in October. In recent days, both sides have stepped up their hostilities and rhetoric. In a televised speech on Wednesday, Nasrallah said his group had increased the number of its fighters and would fight a war without rules. For the first time, he also threatened Cyprus, an EU nation, that they too will be a target. Iran's acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri has held talks with Hamas' political leader here in Doha. Bagheri said efforts against the war on Gaza should be accompanied by legal, political and diplomatic resistance abroad. He also told Hamas' Ismail Haniya that Iran supports any move that guarantees the demands of Palestinians, when it comes to ceasefire talks. Gershon Baskin, the Middle East Director for the NGO International Communities Organisation, says the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah is completely tied to the war on Gaza.
