Anderson Hays Cooper, an American broadcast journalist and political commentator anchoring the CNN news broadcast show Anderson Cooper 360° interviews Gershon Baskin regarding his involvement with the hostage situation.
Gershon Baskin senses that Israel’s prime minister is using antisemitism to cover up domestic scandals and exploiting the war for his own self-interest. He also criticises the Palestinian side, which must prepare the ground for elections postponed for far too long. Qatar's step back should be used to restart negotiations.
Gershon Baskin shares with Pat Kenny of NewsTalk his thoughts regarding Israel's new Defence Minister, Qatar pausing its role as mediator and Trump returning to the White House and where does the Israel-Gaza conflict go next.
Gershon Baskin spoke to JURIST Senior Editor Pitasanna Shanmugathas about the complex obstacles preventing a ceasefire amid the conflict’s expansion into Lebanon and Iran, his unique correspondence with “the Palestinian Nelson Mandela” Marwan Barghouti, and how the period between Trump’s presidential re-election win and January 20th could be crucial for President Biden’s legacy in ending the war.
