What the Next U.S. President Must Face in Gaza

The Biden administration says it’s putting forward its best and final proposal to Israel for a ceasefire deal that would pause the violence in Gaza and give regional leaders and global stakeholders the opportunity to work toward a resolution. But the Netanyahu government has not seemed interested in a deal, and it’s likely that the next president-elect of the U.S. will find their leadership and legacy defined by what happens next in Gaza.This week, host Kai Wright gets on the call with Iranian author Arash Azizi to talk about who is advising Trump and Harris on Israel’s war in Gaza, the spreading conflict and even to consider what would happen should a deal get done ahead of November.Perhaps you’ve noticed: the news is newsing in overdrive lately.
