Netanyahu commits a 'bloodbath' in Gaza to save himself | Daniel Levy
At least 400 people have been killed after a surprise Israeli attack on Gaza in the early hours of Tuesday.
Israel’s government vows to continue escalating these military attacks, saying it’s in response to Hamas’ refusal to extend the ceasefire, which has been in place since January.
But is this the real reason for this morning’s attack? Or is there a much more cynical explanation - one tied to the political fate of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu?
This week on The Big Picture Podcast, we speak to Daniel Levy, the president of the US/Middle East Project and a former Israeli peace negotiator.
