About This Episode
A widening conflict looms over the Middle East, with clashes at the Israel-Lebanon border and air strikes in Syria, Gaza, and the West Bank. The US has placed its forces on high alert, and the EU is calling for increased security amid concerns over a rise in antisemitic attacks. What could a potential escalation of the Israel-Hamas war mean for the region and Washington? The Council's Ivo Daalder discusses these issues with Karen DeYoung, Bobby Ghosh, and Giles Whittell on World Review.
