How Pakistan became peacemaker between US and Iran

?Listen to The World with Richard Engel and Yalda Hakim on your podcast app?

More than eight weeks into the war in Iran, an unlikely country has emerged as the go-between for the two sides: Pakistan. How did General Asim Munir emerge as both the Trump and Iran whisperer?

Yalda explains to Richard how this came about and why India may feel sidelined.

Richard also tells Yalda about the fear of Israeli extremists felt by some members of Jerusalem's Christian community. He has spoken to religious leaders following an attack on a nun.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated assault but not charged. The Israeli foreign ministry says: "This shameful act stands in direct contradiction to the values of respect, coexistence, and religious freedom upon which Israel is founded and to which it remains deeply committed".
