‘Pains me to say genocide is happening In Gaza' Israeli panel debates Gaza & Peace
Israelis were united in their shock, grief and anger following the October 7 attacks. There was a collective demand for a tough response.
But – 21 months on – is that unity fracturing? Opinion polls show domestic support for the war wanning... Israel's allies are losing patience, and the end goal seems more opaque than ever.
On this special – all-Israeli panel we ask – is the war in Gaza dividing Israel?
In the coming weeks, we'll bring you a dedicated Palestinian perspective. But on this special all-Israeli panel, we want focus on how Israel is grappling with the criticism and division.
We'll ask:
- Is a split forming in Israel - between those who do and don't support the war?
- How do Israelis feel about mounting international criticism of the war, including accusations of genocide?
- And how they think this war will end?
Guests:
- Asher Fredman, Executive Director of The Misgav Institute for National Security & Zionist Strategy.
- Itamar Greenberg, a 19-year-old activist who served almost 200 days in an Israeli military prison for refusing to serve in the Israeli Army.
- Gershon Baskin, the co-director of Alliance for Two States and a former Israeli hostage negotiator.
