Dr. Basem Naim is totally right. It is so sad that everything he says is true. The hoax of cease fire enable Israel to escape news coverage of its genocide in gaza while continuing to do just what it was doing before the "cease fire" agreement. It is amazing that he can tell such a bleak story with no hope for an end in sight. Other than being murdered by the IDF.
A superb 'must-share' interview, Aaron! It makes a change to hear from Hamas and not just from what Israel 'demands.' I appreciate Mr. Naim's honesty in admitting Hamas's failures and attempts to rectify them, but it's almost impossible for me to see how a fair deal will ever be made when it involves Israel.
Hamas has even less leverage than before, and there is no 'good side' to appeal to with Israel. They have a goal and have the full backing of the West to accomplish it; I don't see a viable solution. Brilliant question at the end regarding the October 7th attack without Palestinian consensus. He struggled with that answer, but what would have been a justifiable answer after the deaths of so many innocent people and no positive resolution in sight?
Well said! A state built on lies can't afford to let the truth slip through the cracks. We can always rely on Aaron to deliver honest, impartial, and detailed work - he's a breath of fresh air in these times when journalistic integrity is in such short supply.

Proper journalism and at great personal risk (we’ve seen numerous Israeli extrajudicial executions) thank you Aaron.
This is the precise reason why Israel does not allow independent international journalists into Gaza, because the truth itself is horrific.
