NPR Interview: A human rights lawyer on Israel and Gaza violence

NPR’s Scott Detrow speaks with human rights lawyer Zaha Hassan on the Hamas attacks in Israel and Israeli air strikes.

 

SCOTT DETROW, HOST:

As we’ve been reporting today, Hamas militants in Gaza launched a surprise attack on Israel this morning, and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that his country is now at war with Hamas. Zaha Hassan is a human rights lawyer and fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Middle East program and joins us now to help give some understanding of what we’re seeing. Welcome to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.

ZAHA HASSAN: Thank you, Scott.

DETROW: Devastating scenes happening in Israel and Gaza. Hundreds have been killed, and things are shaping up to continue. This is the latest example of a pattern of violence that has been unfolding. And the size and the scale are what stands out. What are you expecting to see in the coming days?
