S3 E35. Famine in Gaza and Israel Getting Hammered

FDD’s Jonathan Conricus delivers a blistering analysis of the humanitarian crisis

This is the first of what will be four or more episodes of State of Tel Aviv and Beyond focused on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. We are moving at top speed to interview key experts representing diverse perspectives and professional focuses. Military. Diplomatic. Communications. Humanitarian relief. Political. We begin with a State of Tel Aviv regular guest and listener favorite - Jonathan Conricus. Lt. Col. (Res.) in the IDF, senior fellow at FDD and a man who seems to be on every international television channel for his sought-after analysis. I spoke with Conricus last night and we packed a lot into a short but pithy discussion. Israelis are fatigued, fed up and deeply frustrated. They are also deeply disturbed by the suffering in Gaza. We begin with a master to get into it all.
