Join Jonathan as he addresses all the important questions and issues arising from the current Israel-Gaza War.
In particular, he'll discuss:
- What were the aims of Hamas in starting this war and how will Israel erase the new perception of a weak Israel Defence Forces?
- What is likelihood of escalation beyond the southern border to the rest of Israel, West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and Iran?
- How will Israel, regional moderate Arab states, the US and Europe respond to the growing lethality of Iranian rockets and drones on display in Gaza and Ukraine?
- How will Israel deal with the trauma of scores of Israeli hostages held in Gaza and the huge and expanding death toll of Israeli civilians and soldiers?
- What will be the fallout inside and outside Israel from the atrocities committed by Hamas?
- Will the Gaza war unify Israel and did the perception of division encourage Israel's enemies to launch this war in the first place?
- What is Netanyahu's political future in 2024 after the investigation of why Israel was caught surprised and unable to defend its citizens?
- How is the media portraying the Gaza war?
