The Hamas atrocities of 7th October and Israel’s overwhelming
retaliation have plunged the region into its worst chaos in 50
years. How deeply involved was Iran in the Hamas attacks? Did
Netanyahu’s political desperation and strategic bungling really
open the door to the most anguished day in Israel’s history? And is
there a way to end the carnage before it spreads? Gavin Esler
looks for answers with author and journalist Kim Ghattas who is
based in Beirut – a Hamas stronghold – and Guardian columnist
Jonathan Freedland, author of The Escape Artist: The Man Who Broke
Out of Auschwitz to Warn the World. Support This Is Not A Drill on

using the Palestinian cause as a way to assert itself as a leader
in the region for 45 years.” – Kim Ghattas • “Netanyahu needs
to be in the Prime Minister’s chair to stay out of prison.” –
Jonathan Freedland • “Hamas thought everyone would pitch in after
their attacks, but there has been no uprising. In the Arab world
you’re starting to hear ‘Iran will fight Israel to the last Arab…
or to the last Sunni.’” – Kim Ghattas • “Like most
militaries, Israel does not want to see photographs of dead
children. To Hamas, photos like those are an asset in the battle
for world opinion.” – Jonathan Freedland Written and presented by
