Now, Israel has attacked the Houthis in Yemen. So it is clear what is going on. Benjamin Netanyahu is using war as a political weapon. ...
Nothing to do with several Houthi strikes on Israel last week.

Netanyahu knows a a stop in fighting will result in him losing power but the Houthis and Hezbollah continually firing rockets at Israel make returning fire justifiable.

In fairness it cannot be easy for them to find a replacement. Your pull of applicants is limited to people who were not important enough to have pagers or to attend the recent management meetings.
Also without the ability to coordinate and suspecting anyone important not hit as a spy.

It won't end the conflict but it will severely limit Iran and hezbollah's ability to continue in the short term.

According to Lebanese PM 🙄
Totally non biased source
It's hard to tell in Lebanon because Hezbollah has assassinated and removed numerous politicians including a previous PM. The public statements will be anti-Israel but many of the people involved in the March 14 movement will be quietly celebrating and hoping that hezbollah gets weakened enough that the Lebanese army can actually establish authority over their country.

Loss of leadership of the planet.
How and to whom?

The US will remain to be the driver of world economics, the strongest military power in the world, retain their veto at the UN and will continue to support Israel.

Placing a tag on the US is meaningless. There are zero repercussions.

US will continue to spend more money on it's military than almost all other countries combined, and it will continue to support whatever Israel does, and it has a veto in UN. That is about it.

The $ is rapidly losing its role as the world's reserve currency, and with that the USA economy will change in unpleasant ways. Not good for Canada.
