Why this NYT correspondent thinks the Middle East war will be over in a week
Description
Could the war in the Middle East be over in a little over a week, or is that wishful thinking?
With global oil markets in unprecedented territory as they react to Trump's ever-changing timeline on the US-Israel war on Iran, the prospect of peace seems a distant reality. The New York Times chief diplomatic correspondent, Steven Erlanger, however, offers a more hopeful view.
He speaks to Geraldine Doogue and Latika Bourke about the far-reaching ramifications of the war, why Albanese was quicker to support Trump than Europe, and why the upcoming mid-terms may prompt Trump to walk away from the conflict sooner than we think.
Guest:
Steven Erlanger, the chief diplomatic correspondent for the New York Times based in Berlin
