Israel Bombs Hamas Leaders in Qatar

Israel Bombs Hamas Leaders in Qatar

Tommy & Ben react to Israel’s shocking strike on Hamas leadership in Qatar. They cover how this closes the door on ceasefire negotiations, how the attacks humiliate the Arab world and make normalization in the region next to impossible, and the Trump administration’s incoherent response. They also discuss the alleged Israeli bombing of a humanitarian aid flotilla in Tunisia, the horrific terrorist attack in Jerusalem, and Spain’s roadmap for opposing what’s happening in Gaza. Also covered: Keir Starmer’s misguided cabinet reshuffle in the UK, French President Emmanuel Macron’s chronic inability to hold onto a prime minister, what protest movements in Nepal and Indonesia say about the state of the world, and the ongoing threat of a US war with Venezuela. Then, Ben speaks with Susan Rice, national security advisor and UN ambassador under Obama, about the redirection and weaponization of the military under Trump, how this administration’s foreign policy is pushing our allies into our adversaries’ arms, and the “brazen violation of international law” that is Israel’s attack on Qatar.
