The people of Gaza believe that they are fighting for Jerusalem. | Eylon Levy with Daniel Rubenstein
Israel: State of a Nation
The interview between Daniel Rubenstein and Eylon Levy delves into the motivations of the people in Gaza, particularly how the connection to Jerusalem fuels their struggle. The discussion highlights that Hamas named their October 7 attack "Operation al-Aqsa Flood" due to the site's religious significance in Islam, being the third holiest site. This operation's name underscores the deep-seated belief among Gazans that their conflict is tied to the broader fight over Jerusalem, illustrating the intertwining of religion and territorial disputes in the region.
