Episode notes
Defining Success
- Defining success in the war is complex due to multiple, potentially conflicting goals.
- These include destroying Hamas, freeing hostages, minimizing casualties, and achieving a durable peace.
Military Solution?
- A purely military solution against Hamas is unlikely to be adequate due to the group's decentralized nature.
- Multiple actors, including the US and European allies, are involved, making the situation even more complex.
Netanyahu's Role
- Netanyahu's leadership seems to be making peace harder with each passing year.
- This is due to settlement expansions, identity politics, and a lack of trust from both Israelis and Palestinians.
