Piers Morgan speaks to Israeli President Isaac Herzog as the shadow of war continues to darken the Middle East. President Herzog reacts to the news that Ireland, Norway and Spain will officially recognise the state of Palestine by the end of this month, calling it a "futile step" that "won’t help" Palestinians. He also comments on the recent death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, claiming they are not celebrating in Israel - but makes the point that the UN mourning his death illustrates the ‘rotting of the institution’. Before saying goodbye, President Herzog claims he cares about the Palestinian people, and even says he’ll take Piers’ complaint on the rights of journalists in Israel to the relevant authorities.
