Anti-Israel protests in the Middle East are fueling fears of a wider regional conflict. People in Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon took to the streets waving Palestinian flags and blaming Hamas' terror attack on Israel. They're particularly incensed about a blast at a Gaza hospital, despite assessments from both Israel and U.S. intelligence agencies that the blast was caused by an errant rocket fired by Palestinian forces. It's a reminder of the images we saw more than a decade ago during the Arab Spring, which led to massive upheaval in the Middle East. Stephen A. Cook, senior fellow for Middle East and Africa studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, joins “Elizabeth Vargas Reports" to break it all down.
