Ep. 31. US Military Assessment of Gaza-Israel Conflict. Lt. Col. Geoffrey Corn

Lieutenant Colonel Jeff Korn discusses the preliminary assessment report on the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, published by JINSA. The report aims to provide a perspective on the conflict through the lens of experienced combatant commanders from the United States. The report highlights the importance of assessing the legality, legitimacy, and effectiveness of a military campaign through the lens of experienced leaders. It also addresses the misunderstanding of proportionality in international law and the challenges of fighting an enemy that embeds itself in the civilian population. The report emphasizes the need for a clear strategic objective and plan for the day after the conflict.
