S5 E7: IRA agent 'Stakeknife'; designating the Muslim Brotherhood; Maccabi Tel Aviv ban; and the Gaza peace plan.

from COUNTERPOD · host Ian Acheson & Edmund Fitton-Brown

In an end-of-year special Ian Acheson and Edmund Fitton-Brown unpack four major security and extremism issues: the Operation Kenova findings on the IRA agent “Stakeknife” and what they reveal about Northern Ireland’s dirty war; the renewed U.S. effort to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization; the fallout from the banning of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from a UK football match and what it says about intelligence-led policing; and the latest stage of the Gaza peace plan, including who might govern Gaza and the future of Hamas.
