'Destructive...': What Next In Israel-Hamas War & India's Palestine Challenge | South Asia Diary

Israel has escalated attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip in response to Hamas militants' surprise assault on October 7. The Israeli Defense Forces warned that they were readying for a new phase of the war against Hamas - a hint towards a potential ground invasion of the Gaza Strip. Hundreds of Israeli tanks and thousands of soldiers massed on Gaza border are waiting for green signal from the political leadership of Israel since over a week now. There are reports that the U.S. and EU allies of Israel want the Jewish state to delay the invasion to secure the release of hostages. But the region is already on the cusp of a wider war with players like Iran-backed Hezbollah already clashing with Israeli forces. However, earlier reports suggested that the ground operation in Gaza was delayed due to weather conditions. In this episode of South Asia Diary, watch Sushant Sareen's analysis on the ongoing war, delay in ground invasion, the implications of the fresh bout of the fighting and where India stands on the complex issue of Palestine. #Israel #Hamas #Gaza #Palestine #IsraelDefenseForces #IsraeliHostages #BenjaminNetanyahu #IDF #IsraelMilitary #IsraeliForces #Mossad #GazaStrip #WestBank #Egypt #Syria #Lebanon #Hezbollah #IslamicJihad #MahmoudAbbas #PalestinianAuthority #Iran #IRGC #IslamicRevolutionaryGuardCorps #AyatollahAliKhamenei #Tehran #EbrahimRaisi #GazaHospital #alahliarabhospital Hindustan Times Videos brings all the News for the Global Indian under one umbrella.
