20:16Now PlayingIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is warning if Hezbollah joins the fray in Israel's escalating war on the Palestinian territories, Israel will wage a second war in Lebanon. This comes as Israel exchanged fire with Hezbollah on the southern border of Lebanon and struck airports in Syria. We discuss the latest developments with Rami Khouri, Palestinian American journalist and columnist with 50 years' experience in the Middle East. He discusses simmering tensions in the region, where he says Israel's "tough guy" approach is a failed military strategy that only generates "greater resistance a year or two down the road" from groups like Hezbollah and Hamas — who see themselves as defending themselves from an invading and occupying force in "the last anticolonial struggle in the world."
