Summary

As the Israel-Hamas war continues, Mo News hit the road for Washington to interview two key US national security leaders about the conflict, the US role and other top challenges for the US. Mosheh spoke with Secretary of State Antony Blinken about how this war will end, who will lead Gaza after Hamas, and whether the US is doing enough to bring home the hostages. They also discussed the threat from Iranian groups like the Houthis, continued White House concerns about TikTok and how the Biden administration is trying to combat the rise of authoritarianism globally. Also on this podcast: An interview with White House National Security Council Spokesperson, Admiral John Kirby. He discusses how the US is approaching dialogue with Israel, whether eliminating Hamas is possible given our experience with ISIS and al Qaeda, and what Israel risks with the escalating civilian death toll. Mosheh and Admiral Kirby also discussed the latest in Ukraine and the larger communication challenges in the social media era. **Mo News Premium For Members-Only Instagram, Private Podcast: (Click To Join)** — Mosheh Oinounou (@mosheh) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.
