In what ways can international organizations play a role in mitigating civilian casualties and promoting human rights in conflict zones like Gaza?
1. First of all, I would like to invite Mr. John Smith, a senior analyst from the Middle East Institute as our first guest. Mr. Smith, can you please provide us with an overview of the recent escalation of violence between Israel and Palestine? What are the main reasons behind this surge in tensions?
2. Thank you for your insight, Mr. Smith. Moving on, we have Ms. Julia Wilson, a human rights activist and founder of the campaign “Stop the Violence” with us today. Ms. Wilson, do you believe that the disproportionate civilian casualties in Gaza constitute a war crime? How can the international community hold Israel accountable for its actions?
3. Mr. Smith, do you think the Israeli offensive in Lebanon is aimed at weakening Hezbollah’s military capabilities or is there a larger strategic objective at play? Can Israel justify its attacks on civilian infrastructure near UNESCO-recognized heritage sites?
4. Ms. Wilson, what impact do you think the events unfolding in Gaza and Lebanon might have on the wider geopolitical landscape? How would you evaluate the response of the international community so far?
5. Mr. Smith, do you foresee any potential for a diplomatic resolution to this crisis? If so, what would be the key elements of such a resolution? how important is it for the international community to remain engaged in finding a lasting solution to the conflict between Israel and Palestine?
