The West Bankification of Gaza

Join Avi as he discusses the ceasefire in Gaza, and the potential for a future in which Israel retains control over the "yellow-zone," which would create a 2 state solution in Gaza resembling the West Bank. He also discusses Zohran Mamdani's mayoral victory, the leaked video from Sde Teiman Prison, and the state of Israeli free speech.
