This week on FRANCE 24’s media show Scoop, we examine confusion over whether the US–Iran ceasefire includes Lebanon. The United States and Israel say it does not, while Iran and mediator Pakistan insist it does. Despite hopes for a lasting truce, the information war continues. Our guests this week are Joyce Karam, editor-in-chief of Al-Monitor, and Barry Malone, former Africa and Middle East correspondent for Reuters.
