In der 14. Folge von Was jetzt? – Die Woche spricht Moderatorin Dilan Gropengiesser mit Hauke Friederichs, sicherheitspolitischer Korrespondent von ZEIT ONLINE, und ZEIT-Nahostkorrespondentin Lea Frehse. Auf den brutalen Überfall vom 7. Oktober sieht Israel nur eine mögliche Antwort: die komplette Zerschlagung der islamistischen Hamas.  Das israelische Militär bereitet dazu seit Tagen eine massive Bodenoffensive im Gazastreifen vor. Das Kräfteverhältnis ist klar verteilt: In Israels Armee dienen rund 170.000 Soldatinnen und Soldaten, dazu kommen rund 300.000 mobilisierte Reservisten. Ihnen stehen schätzungsweise 15.000 bis 30.000 Kämpfer der Hamas gegenüber. Israelische Spezialeinheiten haben in der Nacht zum Montag bereits erste Bodenangriffe im Gazastreifen durchgeführt. Nach Angaben eines israelischen Militärsprechers waren auch Panzer im Einsatz.   Militärexperten warnen allerdings vor den Konsequenzen eines Einmarsches der israelischen Armee: "Die Hamas wird Hinterhalte planen und versuchen, israelische Soldaten zu entführen", sagt etwa Militärhistoriker Danny Orbach von der Hebräischen Universität Jerusalem gegenüber dem Fernsehsender n-tv. Israels Streitkräfte müssten mit verminten Tunneln rechnen, die zur Todesfalle werden könnten, sagt er. Dazu steigt die Gefahr, dass sich der Konflikt zu einem Krieg im gesamten Nahen Osten ausbreitet. Eine Bodenoffensive in Gaza birgt aber nicht nur militärische Risiken: Sie bedroht auch die dort ansässige palästinensische Zivilbevölkerung. Normalerweise verlaufen Bodenoffensiven in anderem Gelände, der Gazastreifen hingegen ist dicht besiedelt, auch da, wo Fluchtbewegungen stattfinden.  Der EU-Außenbeauftragte Josep Borrell setzt sich weiter für eine Feuerpause bei den Kämpfen ein. "Eine humanitäre Pause ist notwendig, damit humanitäre Hilfe ankommen und verteilt werden kann", sagte er vor den Beratungen der EU-Außenministerinnen und -Außenministern. Israel lehnt eine Feuerpause mit Hinweis auf den andauernden Beschuss aus dem Gazastreifen und die notwendige Zerschlagung der Hamas bisher ab. Auch Deutschland ist gegen eine Waffenruhe.  Im Gazastreifen wird die humanitäre Krise täglich größer. Vor allem Treibstoff werde dringend gebraucht: "Ohne Strom werden auch die Entsalzungsanlagen und die Pumpen für Trinkwasser nicht funktionieren können", sagt Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock im Deutschlandfunk. Außerdem brauche es den Treibstoff, damit die Krankenhäuser zumindest in Minimalfunktion laufen könnten. Laut Baerbock wird ein Ausbruch der Cholera befürchtet. Die Lage vor Ort ist dramatisch.  Droht in Gaza also ein zäher Guerilla-Krieg mitten zwischen zwei Millionen Zivilisten? Was passiert mit den Bewohnern, wenn die Versorgung mit Hilfsgütern weiter scheitert? Und ist der Nahostkonflikt überhaupt militärisch zu lösen?  - - -  Wir sind auch auf Youtube.  Alle Informationen zu unserer Livesendung finden Sie hier.  Mehr zum Thema Hitze gibt es auf ZEIT ONLINE. 

Nei suoi 75 anni di storia lo Stato di Israele non aveva mai vissuto una crisi politica come questa. Le manifestazioni di protesta si sono susseguite ogni sabato, dal gennaio scorso, nel tentativo di bloccare la riforma della giustizia voluta dal governo di Benjamin Netanyahu che intende delegittimare la Corte Suprema e consegnare, di fatto, il sistema giudiziario nelle mani dell'esecutivo. Una misura che molti israeliani considerano profondamente antidemocratica. Alla fine di luglio la Knesset, il parlamento di Israele, ha approvato la prima parte della riforma senza curarsi delle imponenti proteste di piazza che hanno bloccato Tel Aviv, Gerusalemme e il resto del Paese, coinvolgendo centinaia di migliaia di persone di ogni età, estrazione sociale e provenienza politica.Cosa accadrà d'ora in avanti, considerando che la protesta è destinata a proseguire? E quali cambiamenti sono all'orizzonte per lo Stato di Israele? A Tel Aviv ne abbiamo parlato con lo storico israeliano Danny Orbach, con il rabbino Roberto Arbib e con i giornalisti Meron Rapoport e Paola Caridi.

Today I talked to Danny Orbach about his book Fugitives: A History of Nazi Mercenaries During the Cold War (Pegasus Books, 2022). Shrouded in government secrecy, clouded by myths and propaganda, the enigmatic tale of Nazi fugitives in the early Cold War has never been properly told—until now. In the aftermath of WWII, the victorious Allies vowed to hunt Nazi war criminals “to the ends of the earth.” Yet many slipped away to the four corners of the world or were shielded by the Western Allies in exchange for cooperation. Most prominently, Reinhard Gehlen, the founder of West Germany's foreign intelligence service, welcomed SS operatives into the fold. This shortsighted decision nearly brought his cherished service down, as the KGB found his Nazi operatives easy to turn, while judiciously exposing them to threaten the very legitimacy of the Bonn Government. However, Gehlen was hardly alone in the excessive importance he placed on the supposed capabilities of former Nazi agents; his American sponsors did much the same in the early years of the Cold War. Other Nazi fugitives became freelance arms traffickers, spies, and covert operators, playing a crucial role in the clandestine struggle between the superpowers.  From posh German restaurants, smuggler-infested Yugoslav ports, Damascene safehouses, Egyptian country clubs, and fascist holdouts in Franco's Spain, Nazi spies created a chaotic network of influence and information. This network was tapped by both America and the USSR, as well as by the West German, French, and Israeli secret services. Indeed, just as Gehlen and his U.S sponsors attached excessive importance to Nazi agents, so too did almost all other state and non-state actors, adding a combustible ingredient to the Cold War covert struggle. Shrouded in government secrecy, clouded by myths and propaganda, the tangled and often paradoxical tale of these Nazi fugitives and operatives has never been properly told—until now. Danny Orbach is a Senior Lecturer at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Craig Sorvillo is a PhD candidate in modern European history at the University of Florida.

Please consider donating to help the us continue making great content: https://2njb.com/donate *** Today, we are diving into a fascinating topic that sheds light on a dark chapter of history. After World War II, some Nazis faced persecution in the Nuremberg trials, while others managed to escape justice by fleeing to different parts of the world. We all know that many Nazis found refuge in South America, but what about those who stayed in Europe or fled to Arab countries? This is where the Israeli Mossad, the renowned intelligence agency, enters the picture. Our guest today is Prof. Danny Orbach, an accomplished Israeli military historian and associate professor at the Hebrew University. With a background in intelligence and military history, Prof. Orbach brings a wealth of expertise to our discussion. He holds a PhD in history from Harvard University, further enhancing his scholarly credentials. In his latest book, "Fugitives: A History of Nazi Mercenaries During the Cold War" Prof. Orbach explores the stories of Nazi war criminals who found new roles and allegiances after the war. He uncovers the intriguing involvement of the Mossad with former Nazis, revealing previously undisclosed information about their recruitment and interactions. Prof. Orbach's research, backed by classified internal documents, sheds light on the complex relationships between former Nazis and intelligence agencies worldwide. Join us as we delve into the captivating world of post-World War II Nazi fugitives and the hidden connections between them and intelligence agencies around the globe. Let's welcome Prof. Danny Orbach and explore the astonishing revelations in his latest book, "Fugitives." Buy the book: https://www.amazon.com/Fugitives-History-Nazi-Mercenaries-During/dp/1643138952

Danny Orbach’s Curse on This Country: The Rebellious Army of Imperial Japan (Cornell University Press, 2017) provides new insights into the origins of the insubordination that plagued and characterized the Imperial Japanese Army in the 1930s. Orbach identifies the causes of insubordination in both the political culture of the military dating back to the Meiji Restoration itself and a series of systemic “bugs” that infected the modern political system but that were in themselves the result of mostly reasonable solutions to challenges Japan faced early on in its blitzkrieg modernization. By assembling a series of mostly well known events into a coherent narrative from the 1860s to the 1930s, Orbach shows how insubordination in the name of the emperor rotted the Army from its core and destroyed civilian control in the process, culminating in the military governments of the Second World War period. The book is not only a convincing reevaluation of the history of the Army and modern Japan, but also a refreshing antidote to persistent misconceptions about the roots and timeline of Japan’s imperial ambitions. Instead of a geopolitical imperial strategy with roots in the 1870s, in which there is a continuity of aggressive expansionist purpose, what we come away with is a story about the continuity of structural/systemic “bugs” and their long-term unintended consequences.
