Recent Israeli air strikes on Lebanon have reignited fears of more conflict along the border.
Israel says it is targeting Hezbollah positions to stop the group from rebuilding its military capabilities.
Israeli forces are also bombing Gaza, violating a recently agreed to ceasefire, and have launched more than 1,000 air strikes in Syria since the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime.
Next week, US President Donald Trump will host Ahmed al-Sharaa, the first Syrian president to visit the White House.
So, how will that meeting impact regional sovereignty?
And can Israel sustain its near-daily attacks across the Middle East under the guise of security?
