Marc Lamont Hill is challenging former Israeli Navy chief and former Israeli Security Services Director Ami Ayalon.
After five months of Israel’s brutal bombing and siege of Gaza, which killed more than 30,000 Palestinians and saw Israel face a genocide case at the International Court of Justice, negotiations continue and a ceasefire could be imminent.
Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in Gaza is intensifying with shortages of food, water and basic medicines. And with people on the brink of starvation, there are reports of people eating grass and animal feed to survive.
Can Israel realistically achieve its goals? And will there be those responsible for all the war crimes committed?
This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill interviews Ami Ayalon, former commander in chief of the Israeli Navy and former director of the Israeli Security Services, about Israel’s violations of international law in its war on Gaza.
