Israel is currently engaged in multiple conflicts in the region, including a war on Gaza that has been ongoing for almost a year. In addition to targeting Gaza, Israel has also set its sights on Al Jazeera Media Network, with a recent raid in the occupied West Bank resulting in the closure of the channel’s bureau in Ramallah for 45 days. This comes after Al Jazeera was already banned from reporting within Israel.
The Israeli military is not only continuing its bombardment of Gaza but is also expanding operations in the occupied West Bank and into Lebanon. Reports indicate that Israel may be planning mass evacuation orders in northern Gaza, raising questions about its objectives in the region. Some speculate that Israel may be planning to reoccupy Gaza.
To discuss these developments, presenter James Bays hosts a panel of guests including Daniel Levy, President of the US/Middle East Project and a former Israeli negotiator, Meron Rapoport, an award-winning Israeli investigative journalist, and Ilan Pappe, an Israeli historian and author. The panel will likely debate the motivations behind Israel’s actions and the potential consequences of its escalating conflict in the region.
As tensions continue to rise in the Middle East, the international community watches closely to see how the situation will unfold and what actions will be taken to address the growing crisis.
