Israel's Second War of Independence:

In this video, we dive deep into the recent developments in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared the beginning of a "second stage" in the war against Hamas, with ground operations in Gaza aimed at destroying Hamas's military and governing capabilities and the return of hostages taken during the October 7 attacks.

As the conflict intensifies, it's crucial to understand the historical context and the potential implications. We draw parallels between this conflict and the events of 1948, known as the Nakba or "catastrophe" among Palestinians. Our experts from the Atlantic Council, Jonathan Panikoff, Tuqa Nusairat, and Alex Plitsas, provide valuable insights into the situation.
