Can efforts to restart talks to end Israel's bombardments in Gaza succeed? | Inside Story

It has been a tense week in the Middle East since a fragile ceasefire was put in place in Lebanon.

Behind the scenes, efforts are reportedly underway to get back to the table to try to stop the Israeli violence and faciliate the release of captives. But on the ground, Israeli bombardments have been unrelenting. And the UN says the delivery of food and aid in Gaza is at an all-time low. Will the violence derail Washington's plans? And what is likely to happen once Donald Trump takes over in less than two months? Presenter: James Bays Guests: Jehad Abusalim - Executive Director, Institute for Palestine Studies.
