Piers MorganJust days after President Donald Trump publicly criticised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over ceasefire violations, fresh strikes between Israel and Iran have cast new doubt over efforts to secure a wider peace deal.
The latest flashpoint is Lebanon. Despite a US-brokered ceasefire, Israeli attacks on Hezbollah targets have continued, including recent strikes in Beirut. Iran responded with attacks on Israel, triggering another exchange of fire and raising fears that the fragile truce could unravel.
The escalation comes as the Trump administration pushes for a broader agreement with Tehran. While Trump has urged restraint and signalled progress in negotiations, Netanyahu has made clear he believes the conflicts with both Iran and Hezbollah are not over. The renewed violence has exposed growing tensions between diplomacy and military strategy, with critics warning that continued strikes could jeopardise any chance of a lasting deal.
As the fighting continues, questions remain over whether peace is within reach – or slipping further away. Piers Morgan discusses the latest developments with Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel before being joined by a panel featuring Lebanese-American journalist and commentator Rania Khalek, former British Army commander Colonel Richard Kemp, System Update host Glenn Greenwald, former Trump White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley, and Tehran University professor Mohammad Marandi.
