The Big Story: Another end to the Israel-Hamas ceasefire. How far are we far from peace in the region?

Palestinian health authorities say Israeli air strikes in Gaza have killed at least 200 people, many of the dead children. Attacks hit dozens of targets earlier today, ending a weeks-long stand-off over extending the ceasefire that halted fighting in January. The Israeli military says it is carrying out "extensive strikes" in the Gaza Strip, targeting what it called "terror targets" belonging to Hamas. This is the largest wave of airstrikes in Gaza since the ceasefire began on 19 January. Talks to extend the Gaza ceasefire have failed to reach an agreement. How will this conflict continue to unfold in the coming days? Will we be able to achieve another ceasefire deal anytime soon?  On The Big Story, Dr. Jessica Genauer, Senior Lecturer in International Relations, Program Director: Politics, Policy and International Relations , Course Coordinator: Master of Public Policy, College of Business, Government and Law, Flinders University to find out more.  Presented by: Hongbin Jeong Produced and Edited by: Nadiah Koh ([email protected]) and Hongbin Jeong  Want to get featured on our show?
