Is Israel losing the war in Gaza? | LBC analysis

National security adviser in the US, Jake Sullivan, said this week that military pressure is necessary but not sufficient to fully defeat Hamas. And the State Department added that Israel has a responsibility to connect their military operation to a truly clear strategic endgame.
As Hamas moves to guerrila warfare in Gaza, Andrew Marr is joined by Paola Caridi, author of Hamas: From Resistance to Regime (00:00), and Former Head of Britain's GCHQ, Sir David Omand (05.26) to discuss who could 'win' the conflict.

Thank you for this excellent analysis. The expert from King's College is absolutely right. Israel's catastrophic mistake over the years has been to imagine military might is the only way to defeat their enemies. It has simply achieved the opposite - Hamas, Islamic Jihad & Hezbollah have thrived on the destruction and the countless civilian lives lost due to Israeli heavy-handedness, including the harsh treatment of Palestinians living in the occupied territories. This has just increased mistrust and hatred on both sides. If Israel wants to win the peace, it needs to focus on the Palestinian people and take into account their legitimate rights and aspirations. Until some measure of trust and mutual recognition is achieved, there can be no lasting peace.
