In this podcast from BICOM, Richard Pater speaks to Jacky Hugi, an expert on regional affairs. Hugi analyses both the current state of the war in Gaza and the future prospects for the Strip. Hugi considers the chances for a successful ceasefire/hostage release, including the potential release from prison of Marwan Barghouti, the internal dynamics within Hamas, Israeli-Egyptian tensions over the operation in Rafah, and the need for a ‘Marshall Plan’ for Gaza. Hugi is an Israeli journalist, serving as the Arab affairs editor and host at Army Radio and as a columnist at the daily newspaper Maariv.
