Headline 1 The US plan to weaken Hezbollah and shift Lebanese politics; Qatar and Egypt: 'It will backfire'
The Biden administration believes Hezbollah is in disarray, providing an opportunity to alter Lebanese politics by encouraging Arab nations to support electing a new Lebanese president, a position vacant since 2022; However, Qatar and Egypt warn this move is unrealistic and dangerous, with a potential to ignite sectarian conflict and civil war
In a strategic shift, some Western officials, while publicly advocating for calm in the north, are considering leveraging Israel's successful strikes against Hezbollah to diminish the group's political influence in Lebanon. This effort aims to break Hezbollah's stronghold on the country following the assassination of key leaders, primarily Hezbollah head Hassan Nasrallah...
As we continue to emphasize, a military power that will threaten Israel from Lebanon will not be a factor at the time of the end. Therefore, Hezbollah will indeed be neutralized to the point where it will not be a threat to Israel.
Headline 2 Assessment: Iran wasted a third of its missiles against Israel (Israel National News)
The Iranian regime possessed about 600 "high-quality" missiles before last week's attack in which 180 of them were launched towards Israel.
The Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel last week was unprecedented and, as part of it, Iran launched higher quality missiles compared to the ones it fired in the UAV attack in April.
The assessment in Israel is that Iran wasted in its attacks about a third of the missiles it had, Kan 11 News reported on Wednesday evening.
The report also said that it is believed that before the attack, the Iranian regime possessed about 600 missiles which can be defined as "high quality" missiles. Due to the fact 180 missiles were fired at Israel during last week’s attack, Iran is left with 400 missiles, i.e. a third of the amount it had before the attack.
It is being reported that the cabinet in Israel is voting today on exactly how to respond to Iran.

France 24 has reported that Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman passed a message to Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, reassuring him that the US will not aid an attack on Iran's nuclear weapons.
According to the report, bin Salman stressed that the US is not entirely aware of Israel's plans for retaliation, but promised that it would not participate in an attack on Iran's nuclear sites.
Earlier this week, Sky News Arabic reported that the US warned Israel against attacking Iran's nuclear facilities.
This story, while not surprising, is tragic. Lest we forget, Iran has threatened in the past to use nuclear weapons to take out the little Satan Israel and the Big Satan, the US…Seemingly the “big Satan” with the Biden administration does not seem concerned…
