On today's podcast I chat once again with Paul Kearns, urban planner, author and journalist who has been living in Tel Aviv with his young family for the last 8 years.

Paul brings us his insights from inside Israel since the Trump brokered cease fire - were there celebrations, who is credited with the ceasefire, what is the general mood like, what is the current standing of Netanyahu and what will happen with his corruption trial?

He spoke about the trauma of this war for those in Israel, for those in Gaza and the West Bank, and how he tries his very best to explain the war to his very curious 9 year old girl.

This was a difficult conversation, and in all honesty it is impossible to see a peaceful path forward, but yet, life goes on for everyone who will have to do their best to recover from the psychological trauma of this utterly pointless war.

This world of ours has to do a better job in making sure this does not happen again.

Just a day after our conversation Gaza was attacked again and over 100 people were murdered.

Thanks for listening ..
