International Diplomatic Fallout Likely Due to Hamas-Israel Conflict, Says Analyst

Hamas’ attack on Israel over the weekend has resulted in counterattacks by Israel, and international condemnation of Hamas.

A senior fellow at a D.C.-based think tank, the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Gaith al-Omari tells Africa 54 host Haydé Adams that the extent to which Israel retaliates will determine international response.
