Hello, I'm Sumi Somaskanda from the BBC World Service.
This is the global story today.
America and the Middle East.
US Foreign policy has been dominated this election year by Israel's fight against Hamas and its allies across the region.
The attacks of October 7 last year, the scale of human suffering in Gaza and now the spiraling violence in Lebanon have weighed heavily on America's international outlook and its politics at home.
Both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have said they want to bring peace and security to the Middle East.
President Biden and I are working to end this war such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends.
I want to see the Middle east get back to peace and real peace, but a peace that's going to be a lasting peace.
So what do we know about the candidates plans for the Middle east and what could this election mean for the people of Jerusalem, Gaza, Beirut and beyond?
This is the sixth and final part of the Global Stories special series looking at America's place in the world ahead of the presidential election.
With me Today is the BBC's international editor, Jeremy Bowen in Jerusalem.
Hi, Jeremy.
Yeah, hi.
And our North America correspondent, Neta Tawfiq, who is in New York.
