Episode notes
Israel's 3-Step Gaza Strategy
- Israel's plan to crush Hamas involves three key principles: control humanitarian aid, separate civilians from terrorists, and retake Gaza City.
- Each step carries complex challenges including managing aid credibility and urban warfare risks.
Local Governance Key in Gaza
- Successful separation of civilians from terrorists requires local Gazan participation, not just force.
- Clan-based governance in Gaza shows potential to support Israeli efforts against Hamas internally.
Putin's Ceasefire Preconditions
- Putin may pause airstrikes on Ukraine to avoid US sanctions but skeptics see it as a delaying tactic.
- Russia demands preconditions like no NATO expansion and territorial guarantees for any ceasefire.
