The Hamas attack on Israel on October the 7, 2023 traumatised the country. Nearly 1,200 people were killed and over 250 taken hostage. In response, Israel carried out what many consider a genocide. Nearly 75,000 have been killed and the Gaza Strip decimated. But now the Israeli newspaper Haaretz has revealed that Israel had advance warning and ignored it. Prime Minister Netanyahu was informed by the President of the Emirates about ten days in advance but allegedly did nothing. Is this story believable? If it is, what are its full implications? My guest is the Middle East Director of the International Communities Organisation and Israeli hostage negotiator, Gershon Baskin.
