Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal stokes speculation of a regional war, and Israel’s Ynet News plays the story big.

Electronic Lebanon tamps it down:

Even through the threat of war with Israel is ever-present, neither Israel nor Hizballah seem to have the appetite for another war in the short term.

Analysis: If there is a war, Hamas doesn’t want to fight Israel alone as it got punished in the Gaza war. Meshaal said as much. The Lebanese prefer not to be testing ground for Israeli experiments in “deterrence,” which usually (not always) involve civilian casualties, said to be inadvertent.

None of which means there won’t be war.
