this is gps, the global public square. welcome to all of you in the united states and around the world. israeli investigative i'm fareed zakaria. reporter ronan bergman has two we'll start today's show in britain, which seems to have hit big pieces in "the new york the high water mark of brexit times" in recent days on the bedlam. >> i would rather be dead in a existential struggle between israel and iran. ditch. >> i'll try to make sense of it he was one of the reporters on a all with a terrific panel. bombshell piece published at the then, israel versus iran. end of august that made the case that the wall between israel and iran, which had been conducted remarkable new reporting shows that the shadow war between the mostly covertly, is now coming two countries is now bursting out in the open with israel into the open. striking against threats from could it get worse? iran's allies in syria, lebanon, is another immediately war on and iraq. the horizon? then this weekend's "new york i'll ask the investigative times" magazine has another reporter, ronan bergman. bergman piece co-authored with also, jim mattis had a

mark mazzetti about what the 44-year career in the marine reporters say is a longtime corps and then took the effort of hawks in both pentagon's top job as donald washington and jerusalem to push for strikes against iran. fascinating stories. trump's first secretary of defense. i wanted to talk about both of them. but he quit less than two years ronan bergman joins us from later. teleaviv. general mattis on duty, honor, and loyalty. welcome, ronan. >> thank you, fareed. but first, here's my take. >> one of the things you point out, right now israel is britain's conservative party is arguably the most successful becoming more and more overt and political party of the modern antagonistic and aggressive age. towards iran, and you say that the tories, as they're also this is partly happening because known, have ruled britain for bibi netanyahu is facing some nearly 60 of the 90 years since domestic pressures at home. 1929, the country's first election with universal adult he has an upcoming election. and wants to show that he is suffrage. but this week, we watched the very tough and that israel is in an existential struggle with beginning of the end of the iran. >> the israeli elections are conservative party, at least as we have known it. coming on september 17. in the post-world war ii area, and if there is any consensus in the tories were defined by an israel, the consensus is that advocacy of free markets and the israeli government, the traditional values, a israeli military and combination that was brought to intelligence community should be its climax in the person of taking a very tough stance and

margaret thatcher, the tories' tough and aggressive actions against iran and its proxies in most effective prime minister since winton churchill. this free market orientation the area. made sense. look for it, in the coming the second half of the 20th collections, the same people who are either siding by benjamin century was dominated by one big netanyahu or objected benjamin issue, the clash between communism and capitalism. netanyahu when he wanted to throughout the world, countries strike the iranian nuclear aligned themselves on a facilities in 2012, are now left/right spectrum that related to that central issue. struggling or competing against him. the role of the state in economics. avigdor lieberman, ehud barak, in america in the 1950s and '60s, the democrats included the chief of staff, all of these northern progressives and people were there in 2012, but southern segregationist, but they all agreed on the need for now they are not bringing the an interventionist state. we are now living in a new issue of how to struggle with ideological era, one defined by iran, how to fight with iran an open/close divide between into the political campaign. one of their advisers told me, people comfortable in a world of said, we are not bringing this greater openness and trade, technology, and migration. issue, in spite of this being and those who want more the most important national barriers, protections, security threat to israel, we restraints. you can see the breakdown of the are not attacking benjamin old order by looking back at netanyahu, because it's seen as britain's last five prime a consensus and most of the ministers. two from the labor party, three voters in israel believe that from the tories. all were in favor of britain benjamin netanyahu deals with staying in the european union, that right. including theresa may,

originally. we just don't want to help him on that and give him more by contrast, boris johnson is ammunition to become -- to be remaking the tories into the outspoken as the tough guy on party of brexit. this issue. and this week expelled 21 conservative members of >> you point out in the piece, parliament, including very senior figures who disagreed with the new party line. detailing the history, an of course, not every situation extraordinary story where falls neatly on the open/close spectrum. many of the leading brexitiers basically, it really in many ways starts with netanyahu. are staunch free marketieres and and israeli hawks, who then keep insist they want a free britain. pressuring and pressing the american government to attack it's hard to be in favor of free trade, but insist that britain iran. crash out of the eu, one of the and it's an extraordinary story of almost a 15-year campaign. >> yeah. world's largest free trade areas it's a story of 15 years where and britain's largest trading partner. but more significant is the fact much of the u.s. foreign policy that whatever the views of the against iran or what to do with iran is dictated, or evolving new tory leaders, the public that voted for brexit and would from the secret part of the presumably support what would israeli american relations. essentially be a new tory brexit and you pointed out that the party largely embrace a closed prime minister netanyahu and then his defense minister, ehud ideology. barak, have been telling the they're suspicious of americans for a very long time, foreigners, resentful of the new since 2009, until at least 2010,

cosmopolitan britain that they that they consider seriously see in london and the country's other big cities. that they will bomb iran. america, of course, has a something that might ignite the similar constituency. while many of the republican whole area, the whole region leaders who support trump might into war. well be free marketeers his in july 2012, american base is largely animated by the same suspicions and passions intelligence picked up sensing that motivated the brexit voters. all sorts of aerial maneuvers by the most likely future for the the israeli air force base. republican party is one that conforms with its voters' and they are convinced that preferences, for limits on trade and immigration, and even israel is going to strike. greater hostility toward big technology companies. and that led, according to our in britain, there's confusion on conversation with many sources. the other side of the aisle, as well. that was one of the main reasons that led the americans to start the labor party has moved leftward and still contains the secret negotiation with elements that are skeptical iran, behind israel back, about the european union. over time, labor will probably without telling the israelis, in move more robustly in a moscow, in oman, which led to pro-europe direction and with the liberal democrats, try to the jcpoa. create a new open governing majority. in america the democrats have to if that is true, then the pressure that prime minister resolve similar differences, mostly around trade, an issue on exercised in america led to the which many democrats are actually as protectionist as exact opposite results, led to donald trump.

the -- instead of convincing the but what is happening now in britain is a telltale sign. americans to strike iran, it led one of the world's most enduring the americans to sign a deal political parties is cracking. that prime minister netanyahu it's yet another reminder that objected so much. in the interview he has given us we are living in an age of political revolutions. just two weeks ago, i would say, for more, go to cnn.com/fareed he is very, very proud to say that he was one of the key and read my "washington post" factors to convince president trump to cancel that deal, just column this week. and let's get started. after he was elected. >> do you think that now that prime minister netanyahu thinks there is a path for actual military action for iran, either by israel or the united states? >> i asked prime minister netanyahu in his office on august 12th, i said, you know, british politics, george president trump seemed to be considering opening a osbourne was the chancellor of negotiation with iran now. so you might end up with the the exchequer. same sort of the deal you had he's now the editor of the with president obama. evening standard. david miliband was britain's and he said, no, no, no, he foreign secretary. he's now the president and the pointed out to his great ceo of the international rescue community. influence on the american and zanny minton bedaow is the president and said if president editor of the economist. trump start negotiations with so is this proceeding how boris iran, this time we will have a much, much -- a much greater johnson wants, he's forcing an influence on the president. the american president has given

at least a quiet green light to election between him, colorful many israeli military operations but popular, and very unpopular in the area. labor leader, jeremy corbyn. especially in syria. and while being very reluctant to do it himself, it seems that he might at least quietly endorse an israeli strike on or has this all exploded in his face? iran that would solve also the >> i think there's a bit of american difficulty on this both. shall. i think some of this is where he but, of course, such a strike was trying to get to, but a lot has exploded in his face. could potentially start a war in and i think it's become the region. increasingly clear that he was >> ronnen bergman, pleasure to not really serious about trying to get a deal with the european have you on. union. thank you. crashing out was something he >> thank you so much. had said a couple of months ago up next, president trump's was a million-to-one chance, but it became increasingly clear, first and longest tenure defense secretary, jim mattis. we'll be back. particularly over the last ten years, that that was actually what he was planning to do. i think what he didn't bank on when he announced that parliament would be prorogued, to use the jargon, but effectively suspended, that a band of tory mps and ex-ministers, now become known as the rebel force, were

determined to stop that and they worked rather effectively to pass legislation with the opposition that would essentially prevent britain from crashing out at october 31st and would force the prime minister i can. to ask for an extension. the two words whispered at the start of every race. he then sacked them, summarily. and in so doing so, to be a tory nowadays, you have to be in every new job. favor of crashing out. the tory party has become the and attempt to parallel park. brexit party. (electrical current buzzing) i think he underestimated the each new draft of every novel. reaction within the rest of his (typing clicks) party of disquiet at this the finishing touch on every masterpiece. extraordinary behavior. and then the other surprise has (newborn cries) been the discipline shown by it is humanity's official two-word war cry. jeremy corbyn, the yes, awful leader of the opposition, not words that move us all forward. immediately agreeing to an election and saying that there the same two words that capital group believes would not be an election until have the power to improve lives. this legislation was on the and that, for over 85 years, books. have inspired us to help people achieve their financial goals. and essentially wanting to leave boris johnson dangling to force him to be the prime minister who talk to your advisor or consultant for investment risks and information. asked for an extension. you have this completely weird talk to your advisor or consultant thing in british politics. there are loads of weird things you don't live in one corner

in british politics. but right now you have a prime minister who has always said he fragrance shouldn't either didn't want an election air wick's new technology releases fragrance upwards and outwards. desperately to try to have it. and a leader of the opposition that has been desperate to have so now you can fill every corner with fragrance. an election now trying to prevent one happening. upgrade to air wick. this is the topsy-turvy world that we now live in. get unlimited talk, text and data >> george, how deep is the rift with our most powerful signal ever- in the conservative party. all for just $30 bucks a line for 4 lines. is it conceivable that boris johnson could face an internal and for a limited time, get free smartphones too! rebellion, large enough that it get 4 new lines of unlimited could unseat him? >> i don't think he will be and 4 free phones for just 30 bucks a line! unseated, although he is a bit ♪ like one of those greek tragedies that he often quotes. he is cursed to have got the job he always wanted and now to find it impossible to do the job, because, essentially, an important section of the conservative party has been fired by him. now, i think he will reverse that, because he can't govern without their support. and i also think the big picture, you know certainly for an audience around the world is that britain's about to have another general election. the timing is being disputed, but essentially in october or november, probably november, britain will go to the polls, because our political system is unable to deliver on what was perceived to be the instructions of the referendum a few years ago, which was leave the

european union without paying. and since leaving the european union involves pain and no one's prepared to admit to that or compromise on that, you essentially now have this electoral contest between the undeliverable, which is a pain-free brexit, and unelectable, which is this marxist leader of the labor party. so it's probably not going to be an election that resolves the situation, much to everyone's frustration here. >> david, is the labor party going to be able to be resolutely the party that wants to stay in the european union? will it be able to present the public with that clear choice? >> i think that it's unlikely to be able to be wholly convincing in that. clearly, jeremy corbyn has his own history in respect to the european union. he voted against joining on fairly misbegotten grounds that it was a capitalist club. but also, he's acutely conscious that there are a number of labor voters who want to leave.

and he's torn electorally there. i think at the end of this week, we know that boris johnson is a book that you're ready not a strategic genius. to share with the world? get published now, we know that we're not going to call for your free publisher kit leave on the 31st of october. today! and we also know that the next general election is completely unpredictable. because on the one hand, you've got a conservative party that will be united, but divisive in the country. the kicking out of churchill's for more than four decades, grandson. jim mattis rose through the many of his friends have been ranks of the united states marine corps. he retired in 2013 after serving kicked out of the conservative as the commander of u.s. central party. so it has become the brexit command. but then he heeded the call to party. so the tactical voting. serve again. on inauguration day 2017, he was people who want to vote liberal in one place to defeat the tories, labor in one place, sworn in as president trump's could defeat what will be the first secretary of defense. weight of the conservative message. >> all right. he resigned that post less than if you're all confused, just stay with us. we're going to sort it all out when we come back. [music playing] (vo) this is the averys. two years later, telling the president in a statement, you have the right to have a secretary of defense whose views are better aligned with yours. mattis is the co-author of a new book about his military service, "call sign chaos."

big will the shift be to the every new job. center. and attempt to parallel park. how well will the lib dems in (electrical current buzzing) each new draft of every novel. particular do.

good boy. why is it not possible for the left to be a kind of open, cosmopolitan, liberal, you know, hey. hey. pro-trade party? you must be steven's phone. is the -- are the dynamics on know who's on your network the left such that you have to move left? and control who shouldn't be with xfinity xfi. >> i think there's a simple reason and then there's a more simple. easy. awesome. complex one. the simple reason is that political parties are getting taken over by their extremes. one of the conservative mps refers to the talibanization of the tory party. i wouldn't use that phrase myself given afghanistan's tragedy, but you know what he means in the labor party. it's far left, no doubt about it, that's taken over the commanding heights of the party. the deeper questions, though, are about the extreme inequalities that exist in our societies and whether they can be addressed from the center left rather than from the extreme left. and that's where people of my politicization have got work to do to come up with compelling

answers. from my point of view, being anti-trade, as you put it, doesn't do anything for people this weekend citizens of one in my former constituency. we've got to make sure that we have an inclusive form of growth major metropolis are voting to that does deliver for them. fill their city council. in the weeks leading up to the and many of my friends have stuck with the labor party because they think it's the only election, there were large scale vehicle that in the end can deliver. protests accompanied by a large however, they're acutely conscious that boris johnson's scale crackdown. where in the world are these secret weapon at the moment is jeremy corbyn, and that's the local elections and associated problem. >> if there is an election, will you go and campaign for labor? protests? is it istanbul, hong kong, >> yeah. and i'll also campaign to make sure that -- there was a labor havana, or moscow? stay tuned and we'll tell you mp who left this week, luciana the correct answer. berger, excellent mp, she was drummed out of the labor party for horrific reasons. my book of the week is the last i want people like her in as well. of my beach reads from the summer. "the song of achilles" by >> a pleasure to have you all on. thank you. madeline miller. next on gps, why have the it's a wonderful retelling of people of hong kong been so the ilead. passionate in their protests? chinese officials point the finger at an odd culprit. it is miller's first novel. the liberal studies program in hong kong's high schools. the answer to my gps challenge really? this week is "d," moscow. i'll explain when we come back. wayfair's got your perfect mattress. after nearly 20 independent or opposition candidates were barred from running in the city council elections in july, the

russian capital has faced wave after wave of protests. demonstrators came out even after their activities were banned and the crackdown was so extensive that at one point, 1,300 people were arrested in a single day. so why did these relatively insignificant elections cause such a strong official response? the local elections taking place today are seen by some as a test case for the 2021 parliamentary elections which president vladimir putin needs to win in order to keep his long-standing grip on power. but if current polls are any indication, support for president putin's party may be slipping even if the president himself has high approval ratings. these protests are the biggest since the pro-democracy movement in 2011. you may remember that year whether you're looking for a top-brand at a great price. putin's own citizens came out by the tens of thousands to protest

talk to your advisor or consultant for investment risks and information. talk to your advisor or consultant now for our "what in the world?" segment. there are three words when you live with migraine... massive pro-democracy protests have rocked hong kong for "i am here." months. aim to say that more with aimovig. and beijing says it has a preventive treatment for migraine in adults identified a surprising culprit for the unrest. that reduces the number of monthly migraine days. the school curriculum. for some, that number can be cut in half or more. as "the new york times" notes, chinese officials and some in don't take aimovig if you're allergic to it. hong kong point to a mandatory allergic reactions like rash or swelling course for hong kong's high can happen hours to days after use. school students known as liberal common side effects include studies. injection site reactions and constipation. it's a three-year program on everything from the government aim to be there more. of hong kong to public health to talk to your doctor about aimovig. climate change. at the end of it, students produce an independently you ever wish you weren't a motaur? researched paper, which is sure. sometimes i wish i had legs like you. notable in a system that has for years tended towards rogue yeah, like a regular person. learning. no. still half bike/half man, just the opposite. defenders of the program say it's created a generation of young people who think oh, so the legs on the bottom and motorcycle on the top? critically and act passionately. critics, well, they basically agree, but they don't think that's such a good thing. as "the new york times" notes, a chinese government spokeswoman yeah.

said that there is a problem yeah, i could see that. with the national education of for those who were born to ride, there's progressive. hong kong's youth. this echos older concerns in 2015. one former chinese official said that the students in hong kong were being brainwashed. but young people in hong kong told "the times" that the curriculum where teachers can talk to students about mass hello, everyone, and welcome demonstrations, the police, the this sunday. courts, has helped them i'm fredricka whitfield. understand what is at stake in we begin with stunning efforts the protests. to end america's longest war. today president trump says he while it's surprising that a was to hold peace talks with course is being credit would leaders of the taliban at camp such a massive movement, it's david. in a series of tweets last also the most natural thing in the world, because a liberal night, trump revealed this education is, in fact, somewhat subversive to established secret meeting was to be held just days before the 9/11 authority. that is why illiberal anniversary. the president announcing he governments around the world called off the talks with the attack academic freedom and taliban and the president of afghanistan saying in part, taeflt to supplant it with unfortunately in order to build false leverage, they admitted to propaganda. take the way education works on an attack in kabul that killed the chinese mainland. students there say they didn't learn the truth about black one of our great, great spots on china's history, like tiananmen square. rather, they are given a patriotic education along communist party lines from an

early age. or look even at india, a democracy, where intellectual life has long possessed a spirit of secular liberalism. that is changing under prime minister narendra modi. modi's party in several states has begun revising textbooks so that centuries of life are all but erased. the new textbooks play up the glory of hindu's pasts and the current government's good works. there is a more egregious example, still. turkey. after the 2016 coup attempt, the government of president erdogan purged liberals of immigrants. many lost their passports and couldn't work at universities again. it was largely seen as a thin pretense to clamp down on the free thought and expression that erdogan perceives as a threat to his rule. in america, a liberal education is also under attack from those

who think it doesn't teach trade skills like coding, but also from many on the right who accuse america's universities of brainwashing millennials with an ideology of politically correct liberalism. the truth is, properly taught, a liberal education simply ensures that people learn to think for themselves and have the ability and disposition to challenge authority, a crucial ingredient of a free society. to see this in action, just look at the people of hong kong. next on "gps," my next guest says the shadow war between israel and iran is breaking out in the open. why now? and what does it mean for the security of the region? i'll talk to investigative reporter ronan bergman when we come back. for all out confidence...
