Univ. of MD Prof. Shibley Telhami to President Biden: Value Palestinian Life as Well as Israeli Life

As we continue to cover Israel's war on Gaza, we speak with Middle East scholar Shibley Telhami, who says this latest violence is likely to have a major impact on the wider region, especially if other actors like Lebanon's Hezbollah fighters get involved in the conflict. He says U.S. President Joe Biden's support for Israel following the Hamas attack on Saturday was understandable, but that focus must shift to finding a long-term solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This is not a military challenge," says Telhami. This is a political problem, and the occupation has to be addressed."
