The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
The US is doing everything it can to both ensure that Israel can eliminate Hamas' military capabilities and prevent regional escalation. Israel must be able to defend itself from terrorist attacks, whether from Gaza or elsewhere. Indeed, no one wants this conflict to escalate, but time is running out.
Pro-Israel narrative
Hezbollah's escalations on the border will soon need to be addressed with overwhelming military force. Though a war full-blown war with Hezbollah would be painful on the home front, Israel must take this existential threat seriously. Hezbollah isn't deterred, and Israel will have to remove it from south Lebanon with force if an agreement or understanding isn't reached.
Narrative C
Hezbollah and the regional resistance continue to demonstrate their military capabilities. Ultimately, the resistance's primary goal is to end the war in Gaza, not start a far larger regional conflict. However, Israel's genocidal actions and constant threats may indicate that a larger war is coming. Indeed, Hezbollah is ready to defend Lebanon.
