lebanon is loyal to iran. it entrenches iran into lebanese policy.nited states may be the world's strongest and influential country and certainly people here in lebanon favor good relations with the united states. but much of the time teheran calls the shots here. they wield enormous influence in power not just in lebanon but throughout this region. that makes folks in washington very nervous. over the decades iran has immersed itself in this country, whether it's been a push to get israel out or to tip the balance -- to tip the scale of balances in elections. so they are very well footed here. one trip by the secretary of state is not going to change that. as somebody said to me yesterday, secretary pompeo will come here, he's going to read some prepared remarks, he's going to leave, and it will be years again until another high level u.s. delegation visits. but iran is here to stay. >> andrea mitchell joins us now. the host of "andrea mitchell reports". she's in tel aviv. i want to ask you about this significant tweet we've been trained to look at

during the israeli-lebanon conflict in 2006 or during the rockets being fired to -- from gaza towards tel aviv. those rockets while we lived there, the range of those rockets grew further and further. now at this point in time, we've heard warnings for years and one of the concerns that both the u.s. military and the israeli military have joint concerns is that the continued problems to the north in syria and the continued flooding of rockets from iran through syria, taking advantage of the civil war there and passing those rockets, the longer range rockets into southern lebanon, it really puts all of israel at threat from this kind of missile threat from the south and gaza as well as the north and lebanon. >> shepard: the latest report that the missiles now reportedly came from the northern gaza. but as i said, fox news has no independent reporting on who might be responsible for them. they say it's not clear who is responsible for these. chances are given what we know about israeli security and the sort of control they have over that area, the chances that the idea is aware of who d

torture and death in custody lebanon's politicians are divided on whether it is safe for syrian refugees to return home but the refugee affairs portfolio is now run by a politician allied to the syrian government the newly appointed minister salih first act in office was to visit damascus it further politicize the issue there are some criticize. the government. in. return for. contacts with damascus happen until an international political solution is reached. many have complained about the refugee populations impact on the country's economy and infrastructure those who hold power say they will push ahead with what they call voluntary and safe returns for many syrians that could mean more difficult conditions to discourage them from staying there beirut new york times is reporting that a physician who holds jewel citizenship in the u.s. and saudi arabia has been tortured while in custody in saudi arabia newspaper alleges that the waleed foot was beaten and electrocuted during his imprisonment at a hotel in riyadh it was one of hundreds of people arrested in twenty seventeen and what the s

lebanon and syria will also certainly condemn the move. and that's worth noting because pompeo flies from israel to lebanon for meetings with officials there who are not going to look favorably at trump's move. oren lieberman, cnn, jerusalem. >>> let's talk more about this now with samantha vinograd. samantha a cnn national security analyst joining us this hour in new york. samantha, good to have you with us. >> thanks for having me. >> so the president's decision to recognize israeli sofrntd over the golan heights, it's certain to draw the ire of syria and lebanon who argue such a move would destabilize the region. what are your thoughts about the regional and international impact of this decision? >> i tack a step back and think about what motivated the timing of this decision. i worked on national security for president obama including decisions related to israel and various territories that israel currently controls. and when we look at the timing of this, secretary pompeo's in the middle east. he gave a press briefing hours before the
