Episode notes

This chapter discusses the worsening conditions for civilians in Gaza and the potential for a broader Middle East war. It also highlights concerns about the involvement of militant groups like Hezbollah and the potential for mass protests in countries like Egypt and Jordan, while mentioning the calls for a ceasefire from foreign ministers and the queen of Jordan.

Protesters, politicians, and the pope are calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, but the US and Israeli governments remain opposed. Vox’s Jonathan Guyer and Jon B. Alterman from the Center for Strategic and International Studies explain what happens next.

This episode was produced by Avishay Artsy and Isabel Angell, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by David Herman, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
