Description
On this episode of Frankly Speaking, we hear from Firas Maksad from the Middle East Institute.   With the US election just days away, we ask if the Arab-American vote can truly impact the race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump for the White House.  Plus, as the crisis deepens in the Middle East, what’s next for Lebanon? With most of Hezbollah’s leaders gone, is this the end or could they return more dangerous than ever? And will the international community allow another Israeli occupation of Lebanon, or are they powerless to stop it?
