Gaza Ceasefire: Will peace hold for the region?

from Newstalk Weekend

International pressure and a concerted effort from Donald Trump have led to a ceasefire being reached between Israel and Hamas, but while some see it as the only path to ending civilian suffering, others argue it risks empowering Hamas and undermining Israel’s security. To discuss the prospects and politics of the ceasefire, Anton is joined by two voices at the heart of this debate - Alan Shatter, former Irish Minister for Justice, now on the board of the Israel Council on Foreign Relations and Chairperson of Magen David Adom Ireland & Dr Ofer Cassif, a member of the Knesset representing Hadash – the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality
