    The shadow: Hamas's hidden commander

    The shadow: Hamas's hidden commander

    Mohammed Deif – thought to be the mastermind behind Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7th - hasn’t been seen for 20 years and no one’s even sure if he’s still alive. When the enemy is more of an idea than a person, who do you end up fighting?

    Freed hostages speak, human shield ordeal, pilot power cut

    Freed hostages speak, human shield ordeal, pilot power cut
    Hamas released two Israeli hostages yesterday. CNN’s Erin Burnett reports live from Tel Aviv about the elderly women’s accounts of being kidnapped and held captive by Hamas, the medical attention they and others received, and the “huge network” of tunnels they were hidden in. Plus, Yasmin Porat recounts being used as a human shield by Hamas, and the huge personal losses she has suffered in the war. And, an off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot is charged with 83 counts of attempted murder after allegedly trying to cut engine power mid-flight. Also this morning: the House GOP push to elect a Speaker by tonight, and Russian detainee Paul Whelan speaks exclusively to CNN.

    Israel Has No Good Options

    Israel Has No Good Options
    Two things seem true: First, Israel has a profound moral right to defend itself from terrorism. Second, its current strategy could kill thousands of civilians, destroy its international reputation, breed even more terrorist cells, and obliterate any chance for peace in our lifetime. Is it possible to keep both ideas in our head? Today's guest is Georgetown University professor Daniel Byman, one of the world's leading researchers on terrorism, counterterrorism, and Israel’s military.
