Can Hamas be removed from power in Gaza?
In this probing discourse, we engage with Israeli Army Spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner and Palestinian lawmaker Mustafa Barghouti.
We aim to shed light on this intense conflict, the war in Gaza, the contentious ground war, and the emotive information war.
What are the military objectives - their achievability, their focus on targeting Hamas' regime, and the potential rise in terrorist activities should they succeed. We also critically evaluate the challenge that comes with minimizing civilian casualties and the difficulties of planning for multiple fronts in these battles.
Adding a new layer to our discussion, Mustafa Bargouti, brings forward the importance of a democratic alternative for Palestinians. We delve into the cancellation of the Palestinian elections, the looming power of illegal settlers, and the effects of a continued settler colonial system.
