LONDON: As world leaders gather in New York for the UN General Assembly, global attention is glued to the latest escalation taking place in the Middle East between Israel and Hezbollah, which has brought the region yet another step closer to all-out war.

Intervening in either conflict could invite a devastating retaliation from Israel and drag the country into a wider regional war.
