About this episode

Israel is mounting limited ground raids into Gaza to prepare for what it calls “the coming stages of the war” and to search for hostages. It’s also ramping up its aerial assault, launching more than 300 attacks on what defense forces claim are military targets belonging to Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Meanwhile, the civilian toll grows dramatically: more than 400 Palestinians, nearly half of them children, were killed in overnight strikes, according to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry. Ilana Dayan is one of the Israel’s best-known journalists and joins Christiane from Jerusalem. 

Also on today's show: Ghassan Abu-Sittah, British-Palestinian plastic surgeon; Andriy Zagorodnyuk, Former Ukrainian Defense Minister; author Ben Sheehan
