The war between Israel and Hamas will enter its fifth month on Wednesday February 7. Ziad Majed, researcher, director of the Middle East studies program at the American University of Paris, was the guest of 19/20 info.
“There are several elements which show that the negotiations are progressing, there is still what concerns the Israeli soldiers prisoners of war that the Hamas wants to exchange. There is this question which remains problematic“, according to Ziad Majed, researcher, director of the Middle East studies program at the American University of Paris. The Qataris also took the risk that an agreement might perhaps be concluded. Depending on the guest, we can “maybe have a little hope“. The head of American diplomacy Antony Blinken announced that he will transmit the response of Hamas to the Israeli government on Wednesday February 7.
An “attack on mental health”
“We are very far from the destruction of Hamas (…) what is taking place is the destruction of the Gaza Strip“, believes Ziad Majed. “There is a desire to make the Gaza Strip unlivable with damage to the mental health of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians“, analyzes the specialist.
