A conversation about the idea of a ceasefire in Gaza and an Israeli shift toward toward Hezbollah.
A ceasefire in Gaza seems unlikely. With escalating conflict involving Israel and Hezbollah, U.S. officials fear this could lead to a broader Middle East war.
Aaron David Miller connects with Ambassador David M. Satterfield, formerly the White House Special Envoy for Middle East Humanitarian Issues, to discuss how the Israel-Hamas war could end.
A discussion on how the wartime strategies of Israel and Hamas conflict with President Joe Biden’s efforts to scale back the conflict.
The U.S. president wants a truce more than Israel and Hamas do.
The United Nations says both Israel and Hamas have committed war crimes in its first comprehensive inquiry into the Oct. 7 attacks and the wider conflict. This comes as a U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal remains in limbo after Hamas proposed a number of changes to the deal.
The Israel-Hamas war drags on seemingly with no end in sight. President Biden has announced a phased plan to end the conflict, but Hamas has yet to respond and Benny Gantz, a supporter of the plan, has left the Israeli government. Meanwhile, there’s serious concern about the prospects of a major escalation between Israel and Hezbollah along the Israel-Lebanon border.
U.S. Secretary of State Atony Blinken said Israeli PM Netanyahu reaffirmed his commitment to a cease-fire proposal to end the war with Hamas.
A conversation on the implications of possible negotiations with Hamas and the impact the rescue of four hostages over the weekend could have on those discussions.
