Israel draws a red line as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects the latest 15-point Gaza roadmap...but that’s only the beginning of a much bigger story.
In this episode of "The Quad", we break down the battle over Hamas disarmament and a new report challenging claims of widespread famine. Then we turn to Iran, where mounting economic pressure could be changing the equation, even as Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia move toward a new defense alignment.
And the political battle is spreading far beyond the Middle East. A major election result in Michigan sparks a heated discussion about the direction of American politics, while the panel takes on some of the week’s most controversial moments: from the Oxford Union to rising antisemitism and the figures willing to stand against it.
