이스라엘 “하마스 섬멸” 시가전 공식화 美와 ‘가자 처리’에는 이견


A "living nightmare."
This is how the UN rights chief described the situation in Gaza.
The Israel-Hamas war continues to heat up in Gaza City, with the Israel Defense Forces destroying one-hundred-30 Hamas tunnels.
As the humanitarian crisis deepens in the region, the U.S. had been pushing Israel for a "humanitarian pause," which was rebuked by Isreali President.
Netanyahu even shared his vision for a post-war Gaza, saying Israel will for an indefinite period, have the overall security responsibility.
This, a divergent view than that of the U.S. which believes Israel's reoccupation of Gaza would not be good.
How is the war developing and how is it expected to develop?
For this, we invited Professor Park Hyon-do from Sogang University.
Welcome, Professor Park.
We also have Professor Scott Walker from United Arab Emirates University.
Good to see you, Professor Walker.


(WALKER) Q1. Fighting has raged in the Gaza Strip for a month since Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel on October 7th. In response, Israel has been relentlessly bombarding Gaza. How is the current situation in the Gaza Strip?

(PARK) Q2. It has already been one month since the conflict began, and it is said the death toll in the besieged Palestinian territory has surpassed 10-thousand. How serious is the humanitarian crisis in Gaza?

(WALKER) Q3. As Israeli forces encircled Gaza's main city and started carrying out an intense bombardment of it, U.S. President Joe Biden pressed Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to "humanitarian pauses." What is Washington's intention?

(PARK) Q4. Despite such pressure, the Israeli PM once again rejected the idea of a general cease-fire in Gaza unless hostages are released. Yet he suggested an openness to "tactical little pauses" in fighting. What do his words hint at?

(WALKER) Q5. During the same interview, Netanyahu said Israel would take responsibility for security in Gaza for an indefinite period. What does this suggest?

(PARK) Q6. Israel already has experience of occupying Gaza from 1967 until 2005. How were Palestinians affected by Israel's occupation?

(PARK) Q6-1. Regarding Israel's post-war plan, the U.S. indicated a different view with top diplomat Antony Blinken calling for a united and Palestinian-led government for Gaza and the West Bank. How do you see this difference in vision between Israel and the U.S.?

(WALKER) Q7. As the situation worsens, several countries have joined the diplomatic boycott of Israel over the Gaza war, recalling diplomats from Israel. Could you tell us more about this and is there any possibility this could affect Israel's position?

(PARK) Q8. As if to tackle such a negative view of Israel's relentless bombardment of Gaza, the Israeli embassy in South Korea invited journalists and unveiled a 43-minute video of Hamas' atrocities. Experts say this is an element of cognitive warfare. What is that?

(WALKER) Q9. Meanwhile, a senior Hamas official described North Korea as an allied state and that it is welcome to join forces to launch attacks on the U.S. How do you see the possibility of the regime being part of such attacks though?

(PARK) Q10. We cannot leave out the chance for Iran to take action against Israel, as it already accused Tel Aviv of crossing a red line. What are the chances and would that inevitably lead to another Arab-Israel war?

(WALKER) Q11. The Israel-Hamas war has led to calls for China to play an active role in diplomacy. Would China be willing to play such a role? And if not, what would be a way to manage this worsening situation in Gaza effectively?

Unfortunately, that's all the time we have for today's edition.
Thank you Professor Park and Professor Walker for your time and insights.
We appreciate it.
