When is the panel going to go into live coverage

[rubytuesday]

Makrom, the open air prison in Gaza is operated by Islamics, Hamas. Israel has nothing to do with that. You blame Israel, Huge mistake.

[ibutvyg]

Why no protests in Universities over Hizbollah colonizing Lebanon?

[lhaviland]

4:55 THANK YOU for breaking down the 10/7 casualties into civilian and IDF, not nearly enough people do this when speaking on the subject.

[andrewbahlman]

Mute the typing while other guests are talking

[URNEXT]

Why dont you have an expert talking on behalf of the other side?? Good balance of denocracy and freedom of valid thoughts.

[codexox]

Listen : Just watch for the optics . Whos going to who and who is calling for deescalation. Remember what happened to Gaza now can happen to

[merovmerov]

Well, if you look at history, its not like Israel had left much choice in the matter to the populations of the region. There is no reason to find a settlement when you have the strongest military of the planet backing you UNCONDITIONALLY, and its taxpayers bleeding billions of dollars to pay for your military expenses (so you can can also enjoy universal healthcare and free education when THEY don't).

[Kohen]

"To avoid an escalation, the terrorist group must comply with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which established a ceasefire and reinforced UNIFIL, a resolution that repeatedly failed to comply."

[ibutvyg]

Why is Hizbollah allowed to colonize the Beirut airport. Is Lebanon even a country?

[ramzi]

The guy seems to know nothing about Hezbollah or Lebanon. He had many things wrong.

[mumtazhussain]

Stop military and financial support to Israel from USA and EU.

[Ali-bclc]

If you are right in what you are saying, why do you need to lie and claim allegations that has no evidence?

[paulvr]

Bibi, Putin and Trump, have no choice but to escalate their various misbehaviors in the hope that radical change can free them from their personal culpability !!

[SoBiased]

More money from the US EU etc to pariah IDF, nothing new

[bellabacci]

Oh no what they did to Gaza is unacceptable. Israel will be a very unsafe place for Israelis. I have no pity for that tribe .
