Famine

Hunger is penetrating Gaza. Where — between Israel, Hamas, and the international community — does responsibility lie? Donniel Hartman and Yossi Klein Halevi discuss.

The war with Hamas has now come at a devastating cost. Hunger is penetrating Gaza, and Israelis are now witnessing the humanitarian disaster unfolding on their border, which their government—and the world—have so far failed to properly address.

In this episode, Donniel Hartman and Yossi Klein Halevi ask, how did it get to this point? Where—between Israel, Hamas, and the international community—does responsibility for this famine lie, and how can Israel do teshuva for its role?
