And, after a reportedly heated talk with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Trump has declared that Israeli forces will not move on Beirut. It's a volatile situation, both diplomatically and militarily. Nabih Bulos, Middle East Bureau Chief for the Los Angeles Times, joins Bianna Golodryga to discuss.

Sara Naomi Bleich, Professor of Public Health Policy at Harvard, joins Hari Sreenivasan to break down what this means.
