This is CBSI In The World, I'm John Bachelor.

Two wars, the Middle East War right now, is threatening in all directions, headlines.

Putin, to speak by phone with Israeli-Palestinian leaders, headlines, Blinken, the Secretary

of State, in Tel Aviv, Israel-Prepare's offensive in Degasra.

First line, U.S. official signal pressure on Israel to address crisis.

And then we move to the headlines from London that are equally threatening.

For example, right now, the London is reporting.

Ministry of Defense has very good sources and it passes it on to the telegraph.

Russia of the Iran has ordered Hezbollah to attack in the event.

We also have Russian assault on Key Eastern City, weakening Kiev claims.

So we have simultaneous headlines all threatening.

I begin with the dominant story for part of the Middle East War, which is the hostages.

What we know now about the Hamas attack on Saturday, October 7th was that it was planned

to take hostages and also provoke and murder.

Those hostages are in Gaza City is the belief that the same guy, the same time Gaza City

is now emptied of at least a million, if not more, of its residents.

Bill Rao and Hasein Akhane joined me.

Bill is the senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy.

He keeps the Long-Word Journal.

Hasein Akhane is former ambassador from Pakistan to the United States, now at the Hudson Institute.

Well at Long-Word Journal you have an identification of where the hostages might be or who's keeping

them.
