What is happening inside the Israeli Knesset? What are the factors that led them to dissolve? Will Prime Minister Netanyahu be able to hold onto his coalition?

What is going on inside Lebanon? Why does Hezbollah always seem to have the upper hand? The Islamic republic of Iran appears weaker than it ever was before. Why are we conceding defeat out of the jaws of victory?
