Future Perfect: Antony Loewenstein On The Israel-Hamas Ceasefire
A fragile ceasefire is in place between Israel and Hamas as they agreed to the first stage of Donald Trump’s so-called “peace plan” for the region, involving the imminent release of hostages.
Dylan Bird is joined by independent journalist and author Antony Loewenstein to navigate the latest developments, the likelihood of Israel breaking the ceasefire, the political, cultural and social isolation of Israel and the role that accountability must play for the situation to ever change.
“The bottom line is the focus on Gaza needs to continue because the nightmare is not ending, it is evolving …it’s not over.”
