Friday Focus – War Restarts & COP 28
Friday Focus – War Restarts & COP 28
This week’s edition of Friday Focus begins with a discussion of the forces that propelled a return to hostilities in Gaza.

Will Hamas consider more hostage releases in the future and on what terms? The second half of the program turns to the kick-off of COP 28 in the United Arab Emirates.
