Today, we continue our series of conversations about the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The latest crescendo of violence in the decades-long conflict began when Hamas terrorists attacked Israeli civilians on October 7, 2023.

Tom speaks with Dr. Shibley Telhami, the Anwar Sadat Professor for Peace and Development at the University of Maryland. He’s also a non-resident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

Later in the program, we hear from Palestinian-American scholar Dr. Sa’ed Atshan, the Chair of the Peace and Conflict Studies Department at Swarthmore College.
