The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Tuesdays

Worried have been sparked that Israel's Prime Minister is ignoring pleas from other countries to not continue with a ground offensive into Rafah.   New Zealand, Australia, and Canada have issued a joint statement warning that a humanitarian ceasefire is urgently needed.  Former Prime Minister Helen Clark told Mike Hosking that Netanyahu isn't listening.   She said that even countries extremely close to Israel, such as the USA, are saying not to do this, but Netanyahu continues to say he is preparing the ground.  Around 1.5-million Palestinian refugees are sheltering there with nowhere else to go.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
