Back to Episodes'Leave Lebanon ALONE!' Civilians Killed As Israel Targets Hezbollah | With Naftali Bennett
Description
Most of the world’s eyes are on Iran, but Israel is waging a major second front of this war against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
More than 1,000 have been killed there and over a million have been displaced from their homes. Defence minister Israel Katz said Israel intends to occupy southern Lebanon and the BBC reports that Israeli forces have been ordered to destroy homes if necessary, using Gaza as a blueprint.
Add all of this to Donald Trump’s anger over unsanctioned Israeli strikes on Iran’s biggest gas field, as well as the US condemnation of settler violence in the West Bank, and the differences in their national interests become very clear.
Joining Piers Morgan to discuss is former Israeli Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett, professor at Lebanon’s Université Saint-Joseph, journalist at Breakthrough News, Rania Khalek, and The Young Turks’ founder Cenk Uygur.
