On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Professor Shlomo Ben-Ami, former Israeli minister of foreign affairs & public security. He discusses the strategic blunders of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that made Hamas’ attack on October 7 possible, the security and civil structures in Israel which have upheld the ongoing occupation, why a political solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict still exists, Israel having no viable endgame in Gaza, and why a ground invasion to destroy Hamas is likely to take a long time if it is even possible, why the only winner from the Gaza war will be the US weapons manufacturers, Israel’s UN ambassador demanding that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres resign for saying Hamas’ attack did not happen in a vacuum, and much more.
