Who's winning the Israel-Palestine information war? | GZERO World with Ian Bremmer

Thomas Friedman is uncertain whether the Palestinians are winning the information war, especially in the short term. But he "sure know Israelis are losing," particularly due to their retaliatory actions, leading to them being perceived as the aggressors.

To fully grasp why the Gaza war remains so far from a peaceful resolution, you need to understand the codependency between Israel's Far Right and Hamas. So says Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman in the latest episode of "GZERO World."

"They both advocate for control of everything between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean" Friedman tells Bremmer "Just for different people." In a wide-ranging interview, Friedman makes the case for a lasting post-war peace and explains why both Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's government and Hamas are obstacles to that peace.
