Demands come as Israel launches air attacks and ground offensive against its neighbour.
Lebanon is again under attack as Israel wages war against the country’s dominant political and military force – Hezbollah.
Although its primary target is the armed group, Israel’s attacks have been indiscriminate, killing civilians and medical workers just as it has done in Gaza.

Presenter: Hashem Ahelbarra.
Guests:
Hala Jaber – Journalist and author of books on Iraq and Lebanon including, Hezbollah: Born with a Vengeance
Nadim Houry – Executive director at Arab Reform Initiative and former director of Human Rights Watch
David Wood – Senior analyst with International Crisis Group in Beirut
