Could Israel and Lebanon make peace? ‘ALL CAPS’ explores a changing Middle East

The 22nd episode of the 'ALL CAPS' podcast explores the possibility of peace between Israel and Lebanon. The program features Lebanese-Israeli activist Jonathan El Khoury, who discusses Lebanese identity, the influence of Hezbollah, and the potential for a different future between the two nations. Born into a Christian family in Lebanon, El Khoury moved to Israel following the 2000 withdrawal from southern Lebanon. He argues that the Lebanese and Israeli societies share more similarities than decades of conflict have allowed them to realize, asserting that Lebanon should be for the Lebanese and free from the influence of outside forces, including Iran and Hezbollah. El Khoury also detailed the risks he faces due to his advocacy, citing threats from Hamas and Hezbollah. Beyond the Lebanon discussion, the episode covers the international battle over Israel's image, including reactions to a Piers Morgan interview with a Hamas representative, the professional pressures facing artists like Boy George for supporting Israel, and legal challenges involving Israeli reservists in foreign courts. The episode concludes with a segment on Israeli innovation in sports technology.
