Hamas Killed His Friend, But Knesset Member Cassif Says End the Occupation Now [View all]

We speak to Ofer Cassif, member of the Israeli Knesset’s left-wing Hadash-Ta’al coalition, about Hamas’s surprise attack and Israel’s response. Cassif condemns the violence and killing of civilians “on both sides,” adding that both “Israelis and Palestinians pay the price of the arrogant, criminal, ongoing occupation that Israel refuses to end.” He then calls for an immediate end to occupation and of Israel’s “fascist subjugation” of Palestinians, an act which he says will “also liberate the Israelis.”
