Middle East analyst: The October 7 attack made criticizing Israel much more difficult | DW News

The biggest hospital in Gaza is on the verge of flatlining. Israel's war against Hamas has entered in its sixth week, and hospitals inside Gaza are now on the frontlines. Unprecedented Israeli rocket attacks have forced tens of thousands to flee their homes with no where to go, many are sheltering inside hospitals.

That includes the Al Shifa Hospital, the largest inside the Gaza Strip. Doctors have describe the situation inside as catastrophic, with no power, patients are reportedly dying, surgery is taking place under the light of cell phones. Outside, Israel says its soldiers have reached the gates of Al Shifa.

For more on this, we talk to Middle East analyst Nathan Thrall. He is a former director of the Arab-Israeli project at the International Crisis Group. He's also the author of numerous books on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including his latest called A Day in the Life of Abed Salama – Anatomy of a Jerusalem Tragedy.
