It\u2019s been an eventful week in the news with the unexpected death of Iran\u2019s President Ebrahim Raisi on Sunday in a helicopter crash that took seven other lives \u2013 including that of the Iranian foreign minister.
\nEnglish\u2019s Riz Khan looked into the consequences this will have on Iran\u2019s political structure and succession plans for the next Supreme Leader, as 63-year-old Raisi was the main candidate slated to succeed 85-year-old Ali Khamenei.
\nAs for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the Hague has applied for arrest warrants for key members of the Israeli and Hamas leadership.
\nThe move, which also targets Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has divided many countries along lines defined by their support for Israel \u2013 whose leadership has urged what it called \u201cnations of the civilized world\u201d to oppose the request for the arrest warrants.
\nThis episode will look at the different perspectives regarding this dramatic move and the subsequent reactions, with analysis on what it means for the leaderships of Israel and Hamas.
\nTo discuss this week\u2019s major news, Riz Khan was joined by former British Ambassador to Iran Sir Richard Dalton, lawyers Francis Boyl, Alan Dershowitz and Tayab Ali.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
