Israeli Hostage Negotiator on the Future of Gaza and Hamas

from The Update · host Nova Podcasts

Veteran Israeli hostage negotiator Dr Gershon Baskin, co-director of the Alliance for Two States, details how support for Hamas has collapsed among Palestinians, and the group has no future governing Gaza. Dr Baskin also says Israelis cannot wait until 2026 to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu so that meaningful peace negotiations can commence. Plus, the Trump administration wants Australia to increase spending on defence, and another blow for the Greens as high-profile senator Dorina Cox defects to the Labor party.
