Malcolm Hone online conference, the President's Major American Jewish

organizations is here,

and we're very pleased to welcome

Jonathan Spire, Director of Research at the Middle East Forum, to help solve some of

these headlines and where they're going looks grim. Jonathan, I read from the Times of Israel in these hours.

Hezbollah shells north with dozens of rockets after IDF drone strike kills Commander. Military says it killed operations officer in

charge of one of terror groups regional units. 45 rockets launched Western

Galley causing no injuries. What we have here is a puzzle. It's a military

puzzle but I want to go to the diplomatic part. The White House Center

representative to Jerusalem to talk to the government and the opposition to the government.

there is the puzzle for me.

Who does the White House talk to in Beirut? Who's in charge? puzzle for

Good evening to you.
