What is Israel's plan for Gaza?
Dire warnings of famine in Gaza, a broken ceasefire and the start by the Israeli government of a new “intense” offensive which could forcibly displace Palestinians to an area in the south of Gaza and perhaps out of the strip altogether, plus the latest release of a US hostage. This is the war between Israel and Gaza 19 months on from the deadly attack by Hamas which killed 1200 people in Israel and took 251 hostages.
So what chance of peace between Israel and Hamas? Can a new ceasefire be negotiated with US backing or will Israel go it alone and forcibly occupy most of Gaza?
Guests:
Yolande Knell, BBC Middle East Correspondent
Anshel Pfeffer, Israel Correspondent at The Economist,
Yossi Mekelberg, Senior Consulting Fellow, Middle East and North Africa Programme, Chatham House
Shibley Telhami, Professor of Government and Politics at University of Maryland and a non resident senior fellow at Brookings Institution.
Presenter: David Aaronovitch
Producers: Caroline Bayley, Nathan Gower, Kirsteen Knight
Production co-ordinator: Katie Morrison
Sound Engineer: David Crackles
Editor: Richard Vadon
