Summary

Thousands have been killed and injured in the wake of Hamas’s surprise attack on Israel over the weekend. New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman considers reports that Iran played a role in the assault and weighs concerns of an expanded conflict involving Lebanon and Hezbollah. Friedman highlights how this conflict could impact Russia’s strategic objectives and the pipeline of U.S. military aid to Ukraine. Coauthor of “Startup Nation” and former political advisor Dan Senor offers the Wall Street view: how the conflict impacts Israel’s business ecosystem, and how multinational corporations with operations there will keep up business–or not. Plus, NBC’s Kelly Cobiella reports on the ground in Tel Aviv, and Again Capital Founder John Kilduff explains how the Israel-Hamas conflict affects the oil markets. Kelly Cobiella - 3:47 John Kilduff - 14:39 Thomas Friedman - 19:08 Dan Senor - 30:28 In this episode: Thomas Friedman, @tomfriedman Andrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkin Joe Kernen, @JoeSquawk Becky Quick, @BeckyQuick Cameron Costa, @CameronCostaNY
