'Keep eye on the ball': Civilians in war-torn Gaza lack 'basic essentials of life just to survive'

Israeli PM Netanyahu accused France, Britain, and Canada of siding with Hamas after they warned of “concrete action” over Israel’s Gaza offensive.

Hellyer on the unfolding diplomatic tensions. Dr. Hellyer is a Senior Fellow in Geopolitics in International Security and Middle East Studies at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) for Defence and Security Studies in London, and the Center for American Progress in Washington DC. For Dr. Hellyer, it’s very clear: “Even if every single hostage were released today, the war would not end.”
