From the show Reading time 1 min With 570 people killed and more than 750,000 displaced amid fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, Lebanon finds itself in what Iva Kovic-Chahine, head of the Beirut-based news outlet L’Orient Today, describes as an “absurd” situation. She tells FRANCE 24 that many Lebanese felt “intense rage” after the Iran-backed group fired rockets into Israel to protest the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Lebanese government faces growing pressure to enter direct talks with Israel to end the fighting, though Kovic-Chahine warns of a “vicious circle” between calls for negotiations and demands for Hezbollah’s disarmament.
