Israel's new plans for Gaza S5E67 06.08.2026
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ari from Liverpool, England writes:
It now appears that Netanyahu is signaling that Israel intends to take control of roughly 70% of Gaza. I can’t imagine this ending well for Israel. No matter how anyone tries to frame it, this is, in plain terms, a military occupation, and the world is already expressing outrage. The United States, meanwhile, has remained largely silent. Here in Great Britain, Jews are facing harsh backlash, and support for the Palestinians continues to grow.
I know there are many theories about why Netanyahu would float such a move, but I’d like to hear the panel’s take. Wouldn’t this dramatically complicate the ongoing conflict with Iran? Would it make it even harder for the U.S. to extract itself from the Iran crisis?
If Israel actually follows through, does it risk becoming a pariah state on the world stage? What should the U.S. be doing right now, if anything? And finally, why do you think Netanyahu is considering this at all, is it a genuine plan, or just another strategic threat meant to distract from other pressures he’s facing?
