Trying to Make Sense of the Mideast Mess

Amanpour

About this episode

Despite killing Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar last week, Israel is stepping up its military campaign in Gaza. In Lebanon, Israel’s campaign is straying further from military targets, attacking branches of a Hezbollah financial center which is used by many civilians as a bank. Meanwhile, a Hezbollah drone has hit the private residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was not there, and no injuries have been reported. Ryan Crocker, who served as US ambassador to Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, and other posts across the region joins Christiane to discuss.  Also on today's show: Leslie Vinjamuri from the think tank Chatham House & Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg on the upcoming US presidential election; Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman (Ret.)  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
