Taking the bait? SB Asthana, Retired Indian Major General

For decades, Israel’s strategy of dealing with the Palestinian issue has been to bide its time, holding land and seeking regional support in the hope that the historical grievances would cease to matter along with the people who bore them.

Global sympathy for the Palestinian cause continues to grow as the Israeli offensive claims more lives and wreaks destruction. Has Israel become entrapped in the pursuit of its goals? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by SB Asthana, a retired Indian Major General.
