The Brief Podcast Jon Elmer, Nora Barrows-Friedman, Pierre Loiselle

The siege on Gaza and the role of the Palestinian Authority are critical context for the Israel's assault on Gaza. On this episode we take a look at the history of the blockade and how Israel has ghettoized the Palestinian population.

We take a look at the Gaza ceasefire and prisoner exchange proposal that Hamas and the Qassam Brigades responded with after a proposal put forth by Mossad, Shabak, CIA, and Egypt intelligence chiefs in Paris.
