This offensive is in the works while there is renewed interest by Hamas in some kind of negotiation (which is likely a result of IDF plans for a new offensive). On today’s episode, Dan is joined by Ark Media contributor Nadav Eyal to discuss (and debate) the cost and benefits of continuing the war in Gaza.00:00 Introduction02:48 Commemorating Hersch Goldberg-Polin04:54 Hostage protests in Israel05:48 China’s plan to rebuilt Iran’s missile capabilities10:54 Iranian emissary humiliated in Lebanon12:38 Putin’s position on Iranian uranium enrichment13:25 IDF plans to conquer Gaza City21:35 Trump’s position on the Gaza City plan23:30 What will happen to the hostages?24:35 The toll on IDF reservists26:15 International criticism28:58 Was there starvation in Gaza?32:15 Israel’s decision to stop aid in March35:32 International coverage of the humanitarian situation42:05 Military pressure on Hamas43:43 Public opinion on ending the war51:31 The problem with ending the war57:19 Netanyahu’s position on a hostage-ceasefire dealCREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorADAAM JAMES LEVIN-AREDDY - Executive ProducerMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorMARIANGELES BURGOS - Additional EditingMAYA RACKOFF - Operations DirectorGABE SILVERSTEIN - ResearchYUVAL SEMO - Music Composer
