On this week’s episode, Dov Waxman speaks with the Thinking Global team about the unfolding attack by Hamas on Israel and the Israeli response as it stands. With Kieran (@kieranjomeara) and Edward (@edwarddcurry5), Professor Waxman discusses what has occurred in Israel and Gaza since the morning of October 7th; whether we should consider this a ‘Third Intifada’; if this will lead to a new generation of Palestinian refugees in the region; the extent to which the recent Israeli judicial crisis and increased numbers of settlers in the West Bank are chief causal factors of the conflict; how for the IDF may go and their strategy in the coming days; questions about Israeli intelligence failures; the international reaction, and the likely outcome of the conflict.
