Ep10. How international actors can stabilize the ongoing Israel-Hamas War and prevent a regional escalation

In this episode, Alex Hall Hall talks to Tom Fletcher, the former British Ambassador to Lebanon. Tom and Alex discuss the Palestinian refugee and surrounding Arab states narratives as an entry point to examine whether there’s any risk of the war spreading. They delve deeper into: the rationale for humanitarian de-escalation, the interests and motives of players like Lebanon, Hezbollah and Iran, and what international actors like the UK, the US and the UN need to be doing to stabilize the situation, and how they can be working towards longer term solutions.    Twitter: @DisorderShow  Website: https://natoandtheglobalenduringdisorder.com   Producer: George McDonagh  Exec Producer: Neil Fearn    Show Notes Links    Read Tom Fletcher’s writing around this issue at here    You can listen to Jason’s take on the regional context on the PREVAIL podcast here     You can read current Alex’s writing around this issue here   Read, As dark as things seem, the war in Gaza could end up restarting the peace process here Learn more about your ad choices.
