Summary

This week, the world’s leading genocide scholars declared Israel’s war in Gaza to be genocidal - echoing arguments made by Israel’s critics for months. With the exception of the United States, Israel’s allies are beginning to distance themselves from the conflict. The UK’s foreign secretary has expressed “outrage” over aid restrictions, after the UN warned Gaza is suffering a “man-made famine.” Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces growing division at home, within his government, his war cabinet, and across Israeli society - especially over the fate of the remaining hostages. As he tours conservative US podcasts to rally support, polls show that a coalition led by former PM Naftali Bennett could defeat him in an election. Tonight, Bennett joins the discussion with Piers Morgan on Israel’s future and the war’s impact. Then, Piers is joined by CEO of Zeteo, Mehdi Hasan, and former lieutenant colonel, IDF spokesman and senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, Jonathan Conricus, in a fiery debate.
