US policy is leading to a wider war: Jeffrey Sachs on Middle East tensions

Al Jazeera  

Marc Lamont Hill discusses US policy in the Middle East and the risks of escalation with renowned scholar Jeffrey Sachs. Six months into Israel’s war on Gaza, fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East are mounting. Israel vowed retaliation and, less than a week later, reportedly launched a drone strike on Isfahan, in central Iran. On UpFront this week, Marc Lamont Hill talks to Columbia University Professor and Special Advisor to the United Nations Jeffrey Sachs about US foreign policy and rising tensions in the Middle East.
