The Shifting Landscape of the Presidential Race

Tens of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets in Israel in the biggest civil unrest since the beginning of the Hamas war.

Today the country is at a standstill amid a general strike. It was called after the IDF recovered the bodies of six hostages from an underground tunnel in Rafah.

Fury at Hamas is a given. But Hamas is not the focus of these protests. 

The anger is directed at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who’s accused of blocking a ceasefire and hostage release deal to save his own political life.

Douglas Murray spent 6 months in Israel covering the war in Gaza; writing and broadcasting in defence of Israel’s actions. 

This summer he faced his latest brush with cancel culture after racially-charged riots caused havoc in Britain.

Murray joins Piers tonight.
