Panel: Will Gaza crisis spiral into a regional conflict?

CGTN

A week into the Israel-Hamas war, the crisis is continuing to escalate. The surprise weekend attack by Hamas was the biggest single mass killing of Israelis since 1948. Israel is retaliating by targeting the Gaza Strip, a small territory that has been under the control of Hamas since 2007.

In this edition of the program, we continue to explore the underlying issues behind this crisis, and whether it will spiral into a bigger conflict.

Host Ding Heng is joined by Dr. Guy Burton, Adjunct Professor at the Department of International Affairs, Vesalius College in Brussels; Dr. Wang Jin, Middle East expert and Associate Professor with Northwest University in Xi'an, China; Ricardo Laremont, Professor of Political Science and Sociology with the State University of New York in Binghamton.
