Listen now:

General Sir Richard Barrons offers insightful analysis on the evolving nature of conflict in Gaza, particularly focusing on Israel's strategic operations against Hamas.

They discuss the conflicts' shift in gear and Israeli's targeted phase against the influence of Hamas. They touch on Israel's approach to hostages, ceasefire negotiations, and what the future holds for Palestinians and the challenge of rebuilding Gaza and maintaining security.
