Real journalism holds power accountable
Since 2015, The Wire has done just that.
But we can continue only with your support.
Karan Thapar interviews Hanan Ashrawi, former higher education minister in the Palestine Authority who won the Mahatma Gandhi Peace Prize in 2005, who assesses the impact of Israel’s escalating attacks on Gaza and US secretary of state Antony Blinken’s shuttle diplomacy.
What is the true outcome of Blinken’s frantic efforts? Do Israel’s escalating attacks suggest the crisis in Gaza is poised to become a lot worse? After 30 days of nonstop airstrikes, what is Israel’s real intention? How should we read Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah’s speech? How effective is support from neighbouring Arab governments for the Palestine cause? And what message have popular protests in the West sent to Israel and Palestine?
