Summary

Today on the show, Fareed is joined by Danny Citrinowicz, former head of the Iranian Strategic Branch in the Israeli military intelligence, to discuss Iran’s attack this week and how Israel might strike back. Then, long-time foreign correspondent Kim Ghattas speaks with Fareed from Beirut. They discuss the impacts of Israel’s military campaign against Hezbollah and the hope for a political alternative. Next, French philosopher and writer Bernard-Henri Lévy comes on the show to discuss his new book “Israel Alone,” and makes the case for why the West should support Israel in its war. Then, author of the new book “The Message” Ta-Nehisi Coates tells Fareed about what he saw during his trip to Israel and the West Bank, and why he believes that Israel is an apartheid state.
