Episode: 

The Middle East is once again the epicenter of a geopolitical crisis that has reverberated across the globe. What began as a localized conflict between Israel and militant groups in Gaza has quickly expanded into a regional confrontation, pulling in actors like Hezbollah in Lebanon, and raising tensions in countries such as Iran, Syria, and others. Among the most significant recent developments is the death of Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, whose leadership had long been a stabilizing yet antagonistic force in Lebanon’s involvement with Israel. This article takes a deep dive into the timeline of this ongoing conflict, tracing it from its origins in early October 2023 up until today. We will also examine Canada’s role, focusing on Ottawa’s governmental and public response to the crisis as it continues to unfold.
