Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak

CNN
About this episode

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is warning that Iran “will pay” after it fired about 200 ballistic missiles at military targets last night. When it comes to retaliation, the US President Joe Biden says he does not support an attack on Iran’s nuclear sites. Meanwhile, on its northern front, Israel is sending in more forces to fight against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Almost swept from the headlines is Gaza, with little mention of the remaining Israeli hostages there or the nearly 90 Palestinians killed in the enclave just last night alone. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak joins Christiane on the show to discuss. 

Also on today's show: Andrew P. Miller, former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Israeli-Palestinian Affairs; Karim Sadjadpour, Senior Fellow, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; actor/activist John Leguizamo, host of “Voces American Historia: The Untold History of Latinos”
