World Review with Ivo Daalder
Prashant Rao, Anna Sauerbrey, and Peter Spiegel join Ivo Daalder to discuss the week's top news stories.
About This Episode
Far-right parties are on the rise and dominating the polls in Europe. With elections happening in June, can a far-right European Union really happen? Then, dozens of civilians were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Rafah, further isolating Israel on the international stage and increasing pressure on the Biden administration to pull back support. Plus, European allies are proposing allowing Ukraine to use Western weapons inside Russia. The Council’s Ivo Daalder dives into these issues with Prashant Rao, Anna Sauerbrey, and Peter Spiegel on World Review.Â
