institute and co founder of the iranian american council. thank you so much for being with us, iran is one of the largest financial backers, and some waters of hamas, how would you rate iran s involvement in this current conflict with israel? iran and israel have had their own secret war going on for more than two decades now, and within that, the iranians have been supporting hamas for quite some time, are the main providers of military and military support ought to hamas. but he ran not directly involved in the war in terms of actually being part of the fighting or having been part of the hamas attack on october seven but we may get to a point in which the war gets enlarged, and which both hezbollah, iran and which both hezbollah, iran and others who have been more directly involved and potentially dragging the united states into it, that is
or bases. there were six attacks a day before but during the ceasefire it went to zero. so we have some strong evidence of a ceasefire with minimum would prevent the risk of escalation of a full scale war in the region, and from a us national interest standpoint that has to be the number one priority, to make sure the united states does not get dragged to get another war in the middle east. the middle east. let s talk about the the middle east. let s talk about the middle - the middle east. let s talk about the middle east - the middle east. let s talk about the middle east we | the middle east. let s talk - about the middle east we know the secretary of state is making another tour of the region, what you think that says what is the signal about how worried the white house might be about being dragged a little bit deeper or further into this conflict? i little bit deeper or further into this conflict?- little bit deeper or further into this conflict? i think the biden administratio
rendered uninhabitable. for the next half hour we will focus in on the conflict in the escalation in violence in a week where israel as laid out plans for what happens in gaza post conflict. we will look at when that end might come as international pressure continues to build on israel and we will hear from families of hostages taken from the nova festival almost three months ago on october seven, as they visit the place where their loved ones were abducted by hamas. but let s zoom in on the plight of those stuck in gaza. i spoke to a programme director for human rights watch. thank you for being here to discuss what is becoming a humanitarian disaster, really, in gaza. i want to start with those comments from the united nations official who said that the gaza strip is now uninhabitable. you agree with that assessment? i
israel is bowing to destroy hamas, the armed group that ran gaza for 16 years failed as a terrorist group by britain. it will govern gaza when the war ends, it is called the day after and israel has been under pressure to spell out its plans for the first time it is set out what it calls guiding principles for the future of gaza. it says it will retain overall security control even when its military operations are over. it wants a multinational task force to rebuild gaza that would be led by the us. it says scars and civil servants once not hostile to israel will run the territory. advanced neighbouring egypt to play an important role, those four points raise issues. egypt along withjordan and other arab states say they will not buy any role in hours of all israeli forces remained there. us wants the palestinian authority which runs the occupied west bank to play a role. and some regional powers say hamas must be included.
of the region, for the people of the region, for the people of the region, for the people of the united states and the people of iran if it leads to ace full scale war. people of iran if it leads to ace full-scale war. executive vice president ace full-scale war. executive vice president at ace full-scale war. executive vice president at the - ace full-scale war. executive vice president at the quincy | vice president at the quincy institute, thank you very much for your perspective. with the conflict raging and a pressing humanitarian crisis unfolding in the region there s been less attention paid to a post war dossier. but the military minister has outlined new chip for the governance of gaza once the war is over between israel and hamas. he said there will be limited palestinian rule in the territory as long as there is no threat to israel. our chief corresponded examines what this could mean in the weeks ahead.
