The Importance of Values and Peace in American and Israeli Contexts

Today on the show, Israel successfully killed Hamas leader and mastermind of the October 7 attacks Yahya Sinwar. Fareed is joined by retired Israel Defense Forces Colonel Miri Eisin to discuss how this will impact Israel’s broader strategy in its war in Gaza. 

Next, Tareq Baconi, a top expert on Hamas, joins the show to discuss how Sinwar’s death will affect the group’s future.

Then, U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel speaks with Fareed about America’s deterrence strategy toward China, which recently held large-scale military drills off the coast of Taiwan. They also discuss the political dynamics at play in the U.S. presidential election, including Republican attacks on Democrat-run cities and Democrats’ difficultly appealing to male voters.
