We're joined by Hussein Ibish for Episode 133 of The Beirut Banyan, and we discuss COVID-19's impact on US domestic politics, protestor demands in Lebanon and Iraq, and the future of the Arab-Israeli conflict vis-a-vis a likely 'Likud' - 'Kahol Lavan' unity deal and the consequences of Israeli settlement annexation policy.
Our discussion picks up from where we left off in Episode 122: Internal and External Pressure.
Hussein Ibish is a Senior Resident Scholar at The Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington and a weekly columnist for Bloomberg and The National.
