. >> director of the carnegie middle east center. thank you so much for joining us, we are hearing from hezbollah. they have a new and escalating phase, but they've been so debilitated, hadn't made by the israeli operation. i'm wondering what resources and leadership they've got in place to be able to do that good morning, max. >> thank you for having me. they seem to still be operating. i think they have a level of decentralization on the battlefield. so they've continued to carry out operations from what we can tell. it's very clear that the iranians have stepped in directly to support the whatever is left of the readership in beirut's on the ground. but they do still have the resources and they are continuing to carry out military operations as well as in lebanon, trying to also care for those displaced within their own constituency. >> in terms of how sinwar's death plays into hezbollah's thinking. does that motivate them or de-motivate them i don't think either hassan nasrallah, the secretary general's deaths type, hassan nasral

earlier i spoke to is he'd say, who is a senior fellow at the malcolm age per carnegie middle east center and the author of armed struggle and the search for state. he says, israel's goal, beyond defeating him, us is to target anyone who identifies as palestinian or the real question here is israel seeks to defeat the desire of people who define themselves as palestinian, who live under his really control with a direct manager control in the westbank mixed control in east jerusalem in direct but also direct military control in gaza. and 2nd, class citizenship insight is in itself of the idea that these people will accept and become willing subjects in perpetuity to discipline prizes disenfranchisement. um, you know, basic political rights, basic civil rights denied to them. so this idea is ludicrous and so it's not about whether it's or can just buy from us or not. it might do but, but what does it do about 7000000 palestinians whose lives it controls in every possible way every day. what does international say if think it, pardon international law, say about the right to resistance and s

let's speak to maha yahya, who's director at the carnegie middle east center.me to you, thank you for being with us. let's start with the israeli operations in gaza. 0ne the israeli operations in gaza. one year on. at what point do you think israel will say they have defeated ham ask? when will that come, what will they have to have achieved to consider hamas no longer a threat? ., ., ., ., ~ threat? that morning and thank ou for threat? that morning and thank you for having _ threat? that morning and thank you for having me. _ threat? that morning and thank you for having me. that - threat? that morning and thank you for having me. that is - threat? that morning and thank you for having me. that is the l you for having me. that is the $1 million question, may be1 billion. it is very clear the israeli government has had a constantly moving target of goals and shifting goalposts constantly. initially it was to get rid of hamas. they said they don't get rid of a movement like hamas by military force, you can degrade their military capacities but you cannot get ri

rotary tenants, how does the or is it site f is a senior fellow at the malcolm age career. carnegie middle east center and author of armed struggle in the search for states returning us from london today. so thank you for your time. there are plenty of people around the world who support policy and self determination, but also cannot get behind attacks like october the 7th. how do you even begin to engage with these 2 ideas? a little for me, one of the very 1st thoughts i had been that i tried to communicate to people like my own kids was that it was entirely possible and right to be both of us do it. how much did on the 7th of october in terms of the delivered slaughter of civilians, non competence and southern israel, and the same time demand freedom for palestinians. i think it was a huge mistake that many fell into that they had to somehow turn a blind eye to a time us have done. and i think that was fundamentally unnecessary and of course on ethical. it was entirely possible and didn't necessary to reconcile the 2 positions they're, they're both correct to be opposed about hosted, but at t

really about hold joining me now from beirut is michael young is the senior editor at the carnegie middle east center. >> he's also the author of the ghosts of martyrs square an eyewitness account of lebanon's life. and struggle. you just heard from one man who has escaped beirut. just describing why he left and what he had been through. can you just describe the impact? until these ongoing airstrikes? very specifically because you are in beirut on the people of beirut thank you. >> thank you for having me. i'm currently in the mountains actually southeast of beirut, but obviously in the past two weeks, there have been increasing israeli airstrikes on the southern suburbs of beirut i think we should stress that the israelis are basically focusing all their energies if i could say on the southern suburbs of beirut, which they are systematically now beginning to destroy other parts of beirut or had been spared this, although they have targeted attack, they, they did have a targeted attack in a more central part of beirut yesterday course, in response to a question, of course is very difficult fo

i'd like to bring an aaron david miller, former state department middle east go shader and senior fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace aaron, as always, good to see you when you see you just let's start first with this intelligence leak as we were just hearing from our colleagues, there's kind of a mixed bag of opinion ends on just how serious this is. some us officials say this isn't great, but it's not horrible. other experts say this is a very serious breach with very serious consequences. >> what do you think? documents and can only read which cnn york times were reporting that the images satellite or injury has been described. but it isn't actually pictured in the documents. look, i think by-in-large even if this war is a serious breach, the israelis will adjust and recalibrate whatever plans they had. the purpose of the leak, people leave for any number of reasons based on my experience in a 20 plus year people leak because they want to feel important people leak because they're angry whether this had political motivation in an effort to embarrass the administration it's hard t

middle east against iran 's missile -- following iran's missile strikes. one big topic is how the u.s. will navigate this. we are joined by carnegiendowment for international peace senior fellow aaron david miller. you point out that we have the holiday to begin tonight and yom kippur next week. benjamin netanyahu and joe biden are scheduled to speak. why is this significant? aaron: the israelis have clearly made a decision. it is no secret they will respond and the response will be severe and very serious. and has not been obedient. the fact there were no civilian casualties, there were some wounded and a palestinian was killed, probably by shrapnel from a falling interceptor, there is some space and time to figure how to respond. the administration would like to shape israel's response. in april the iranians launched 300 weapons. the administration president said take it, it is a win, and the israelis responded with a missile strike. they will go way beyond that this time around. the real question is, what are they going to do? can they find a balance between doing something quite significant on one hand, and not triggering a ma
