Why reporting the Lebanon war is harder than Iraq or Syria

Israel has said there is progress in talks about a ceasefire and
indicated Russia could play a part. On today’s episode of Battle
Lines, Venetia and Roland look at what this means and go over the
latest news updates from around the region, including a voicenote
from an aid worker fleeing northern Gaza and meetings between
Iran and Saudi Arabia.


They also chat to Reuters’ Beirut Bureau Chief Maya Gebeily about
how Lebanese politicians and citizens are coping with the
fighting, what is behind Israel’s increasing attacks on Syria,
and why the conflict in Lebanon is her most difficult reporting
assignment yet.
