he ongoing conflict in Gaza demands immediate attention and decisive action from the United States, as mere verbal condemnation falls short of addressing the severity of the situation. Despite vocal criticism of Israel's conduct, the Biden administration has yet to translate its words into tangible measures. While simultaneously escalating sanctions against Russia, the administration has imposed sanctions on only three Israeli settlers. Furthermore, the Biden administration has shielded Israel from international scrutiny by thwarting cease-fire resolutions at the U.N. Security Council. As the death toll in Gaza rises to alarming levels, reaching a reported 30,000, the lack of substantial action raises concerns about the effectiveness of the U.S. stance. As Israel contemplates partitioning and exerting control over Gaza under the guise of security, questions arise about the U.S. commitment to addressing this humanitarian crisis beyond symbolic criticism and verbal expressions of frustration. Dr. Atef Abdel Gawad discussed this important topic with his distinguished guests and experts: Mr. Imad Hamad, Professor Brad R. Roth, and Journalist Said Arikat.

While Israel is striking Palestinian targets in the occupied West Bank it has approved for the first time exporting electronic defense systems against Iranian-made drones used by Russia in its war in Ukraine.
