Summary

Today on the show, Fareed is joined live by an expert panel to discuss the events unfolding in the Middle East. Randa Slim, conflict resolution director at the Middle East Institute, and Richard Haass, president emeritus at the Council on Foreign Relations, speak about the escalation in the region. They discuss Israel’s war in Lebanon as well as its potential response to Iran’s missile strike. Then, Ret. Admiral James Stavridis speaks with Fareed about the other major war that rages on – in Ukraine. They discuss the prospect of NATO membership for Ukraine, and whether there is hope for peace anytime soon. Next, acclaimed author Malcolm Gladwell joins the show to talk about his new book, “Revenge of the Tipping Point,” in which he revisits his bestselling work from more than two decades ago. Finally, Fareed sits down with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani to analyze his country’s relationship with Iran, the progress his country has made over the course of the last two decades and the work still left to do.
