In Gaza, conditions are disastrous for residents, with a risk of conflagration in Lebanon. Rina Bassist, Israeli radio correspondent in Paris and former Israeli diplomat, and Myriam Benraad, political scientist and Middle East specialist, were the guests of 19/20 info, Saturday June 29.
The war in Gaza continues and there is no respite for the residents. “This war has become an aberration (…) Hamas is not defeated, it was still an objective of this war (…) we must put those responsible, the decision-makers on trial (…) this war has deprived an entire people of basic living conditions. Today Gazans are returning to fields of ruins.deplores Myriam Benraad, political scientist and Middle East specialist.
According to Rina Bassist, “The distress is there, but it must also be said that there is another problem with this humanitarian assistance, currently there are more than 6,000 tons of humanitarian aid that are blocked in Gaza (…) there are things that are wrong, there is also the question of Hamas which takes part of this aid, so it is a complex problem”.
