How to Help the People of Gaza While Weakening Hamas

Moving into the green zone.

In Gaza, the IDF controls more than 60 percent of the territory, but the great majority of the population remains in the area under Hamas rule. Besides prolonging the misery of long-suffering Gazan civilians, this situation allows Hamas to continue to siphon off humanitarian aid, raise funds by taxing its subjects, and recruit young people into its ranks. Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib speaks with Laura Cellier about how to move forward in a way that will weaken Hamas while improving the lot of his fellow Gazans. (Video, 8 minutes. Interview begins at the 2:50 mark.)
