Debate: Is the region headed towards ‘resistance’ without an ‘Axis’?

More than a year into the Gaza war and its spillover—including major blows to Hamas, Hezbollah and the fall of former Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad—one key question has arisen: is the Iran-led ‘Axis of Resistance,’ as we know it, coming to an end? If yes, what does this mean for the wider ‘resistance’ project in the region? Amwaj.media invited three experts to share their views on what is unfolding and what may come next.
