Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, Marwan Bishara, joins from Doha to assess the unfolding conflict. He emphasizes the lack of a unified US narrative behind the war, noting that key decisions appear improvised and that internal disagreements persist over its justification and timing. Bishara highlights Israel’s pivotal role, explaining that its strategic concerns and timing influenced military actions, often undermining ongoing negotiations with Iran. He suggests that these patterns of intervention reflect broader tensions between regional and global powers, with differing perceptions of threat, security, and diplomacy shaping the conflict’s escalation.
