A storm of joy brews itself over Israel! The killing of Hisbollah boss Hassan Nasrallah has lifted the traumatized Israelis and put the power back into her hands. After the nightmare of October 7th, the nation now feels the feeling that the forces have gained the upper hand. Whether with spectacular raids in Lebanon or the elimination of Nasrallah's right hand Ibrahim Akil - the Israeli army writes history!

The death of Nasrallah represents a striking turning point. It was not only a versatile leader, but also the key person who connected the Hisbollah with the Iran. This loss could change the dynamics in the region. The lack of his connection will bring Tehran into difficulties, because the Hisbollah is a crucial instrument for Iran to put pressure on Israel and to avert attacks on nuclear systems. Well that this protective factor has disappeared, Israel could suddenly win a new scope for action.

euphoria in the air

The current situation is a remarkable success for Israel's security forces, but even if the euphoria is great, shadows remain uncertainty. The war is far from winning! Even after the death of Nasrallah, rockets fall on Israel, albeit less than before. If you once counted the days until the return to the north, this hope for at least 60,000 Israelis is still an unfulfilled dream. An invasion of the troops could be necessary to secure the approaching peace - but such an offensive harbors immense risks!

and while the troops take a position on the northern front, the situation in the Gaza Strip does not come out of focus. Israel hopes that the massive blow against the Hisbollah will make Hamas think about a hostage deal. But Hamas boss Yahya Sinwar is a tough negotiating partner and has always asked for his price-a price that the right-wing extremists in Israel may not be willing to pay. This makes the negotiations a tricky game in which the sheet can turn at any time.

a new beginning?

The important question remains: does Nasrallah's death lead to a fresh start in the Middle East? Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sees potential for reorganizing the balance of power, but the reality is more complex. The fundamentally weakened Hisbollah could hope for a massive reconstruction by Tehran in the background. It all depends on the diplomatic skill of the USA and Europe to strengthen moderate forces in Lebanon and fill the resulting power vacuum.

The wave of euphoria could quickly turn into sobering frustration if the efforts should fail. The war in the north and the threat of Hamas remain. The death of an arch enemy does not automatically bring peace - here a lot of skill is still necessary to get a permanent solution!
