The Middle East faces escalating tensions as Hezbollah refuses to disarm, despite U.S. envoy Tom Barrack’s ultimatum, leading Israel to intensify military actions against the group. Compounding the crisis, Barrack’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein undermines U.S. moral authority, provoking outrage in Arab media and compromising America’s position in negotiations. The situation poses a strategic dilemma, as Lebanon risks civil war if Hezbollah is disarmed, while the U.S. struggles to maintain credibility. As December approaches, the potential for conflict looms large, overshadowed by Barrack’s scandal and the region’s deepening instability.
