Listen & Subscribe

Israel has launched what it has described as “limited, localized and targeted ground raids” in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah’s deputy leader says they’re ready for a ground offensive. It comes as more than 1,000 people have been killed in the past two weeks in Lebanon.

Professor John Mearsheimer joins Freddy to discuss what’s next for Israel, and the geopolitical implications.
