as posted by the channel

As Israel prepares a ground attack on Gaza, Andrew Marr explains why we must avoid taking extreme positions in the discourse surrounding Israel and Palestine, and why we may be standing on the edge of a global war.

“Social media, by giving us little snapshots of the most hate-filled hate-engorged faces at the most extreme on the streets, are doing Hamas's work very effectively for it.”

“It seems to me in many ways at the moment, the hopes of the world have been resting on the relatively narrow shoulders of Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State.”

Andrew Marr details how rumoured negotiations between Israel and Saudi Arabia may have triggered the attack by Hamas, and why mounting a response to the Israel-Hamas war is particularly dangerous for Labour.
