The Inside Story Podcast Can world leaders help negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas?
US President Joe Biden was in Berlin on Friday on a whirlwind trip to discuss with European allies what Washington calls, 'an opportunity' to turn the page on the war on Gaza. They expressed hope of a ceasefire and the release of Israeli captives after the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar on Wednesday. But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the 'war is not over'. And a senior Hamas leader has said the captives will not be released until Israel ends its assault of Gaza. So, are world leaders right in their assessment of the situation of a post-Sinwar Gaza? And can they really negotiate peace?
In this episode:
- Said Arikat, Washington Bureau Chief, Al Quds Newspaper.
- Brian Finucane, Senior Adviser, US Programme, International Crisis Group.
