How Hamas is losing control of Gaza

As the Israel Defense Forces close in on Hamas headquarters, what is the future of the Gaza Strip? “Our Middle East: An Insider’s View” with Dan Diker and Khaled Abu Toameh, Ep. 28

Hosts Dan Diker, president of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, and Arab-Israeli journalist Khaled Abu Toameh, a JCPA fellow and Gatestone senior fellow, talk about a number of key issues surrounding the Israel Defense Forces’ “Operation Swords of Iron.”

Namely, they discuss how the Hamas terrorist organization is losing control over the Gaza Strip; the slow emergence of those who oppose Hamas rule; and why Gaza can never be given to the Palestinian Authority, led at present by 88-year-old Mahmoud Abbas.

This is your eye into the Middle East and what is really happening on the ground!

Dan Diker is president of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs and the longtime director of its Counter-Political Warfare Project.
Khaled Abu Toameh is an award winning Arab and Palestinian Affairs journalist formerly with The Jerusalem Post. He is Senior Distinguished Fellow at the Gatestone Institute and a Fellow of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.
