"Hamas is the Curse”: A Fascinating Interview with an Egyptian Researcher
אודות הפרק
INSS researcher Ofir Winter spoke with Dalia Ziada, an Egyptian writer specializing in security studies and geopolitics, and the Executive Director of MEEM Center for Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean Studies. Ziada said that Israel is now fighting Hamas not on behalf of itself alone, but on behalf of the entire region. Furthermore, Israel is doing what every other country in the world would do if its citizens were attacked during a holiday and were killed in their own houses. She also explained the reasons for Egypt's concern regarding hosting displaced citizens from Gaza, envisioned what a region without Hamas might look like, and suggested steps Israel should take to better explain its position to its Arab neighbors.
