Episode Details

We begin with developments in Gaza and the West Bank, where the IDF has sealed Hamas tunnels and carried out strikes, while Israel's military advocate general has issued its first war crimes report, opening a criminal investigation into the death of Hind Rajab. International reaction is strong, with France and Germany condemning settler violence and remarks by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. We'll also look at a key meeting between US envoy Jared Kushner and Prime Minister Netanyahu concerning efforts to target October 7th perpetrators and advance a Gaza peace plan. Domestically, new polls show shifts in Israeli politics ahead of elections, alongside warnings of rising tensions and concerns over draft dodgers. Finally, we touch on Israeli strikes in Syria and Turkey's response.
