Hamas is hugely benefiting from the way Beebe fought this war, which was to take very little care of Palestinian civilians,

United Nations. And over 100 Israelis remain hostages of Hamas. To make matters worse,

but my guest today argues that it is more important now than ever

to map out a viable endgame.

How that resolution comes about and what comes next

is the topic of my interview today

with three-time Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman. Let's get to it.
