Jul 29, 2025

This week on ILTV Insider, Executive Editor Maayan Hoffman is joined by Lt. Col. (res.) Maurice Hirsch, director of the Initiative for Palestinian Authority Accountability and Reform at the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, and Dan Feferman, co-founder of Middle East24, co-chair of Sharaka, a middle east diplomacy ngo, and a former major in IDF intelligence, to break down the United Nations’ controversial push for a two-state solution. With France saying it will recognize Palestine and others poised to follow, what are the legal, political, and security implications for Israel? Is Hamas being legitimized? Could this deepen the war? The panel also addresses Gaza’s reported humanitarian crisis.
