The worsening state of the Israel-Hamas war

Since a brutal attack on an Israeli music festival on October 7th, relentless conflict has raged across Gaza.
 
Thousands have already lost their lives, and there are now risks that bloodshed could stretch across borders and involve other countries. 

The war has also created a diplomatic minefield, with politicians picking their words very carefully when commenting on the violence.  
 
After reporting on the war in Ukraine, conflict journalist Tom Mutch is now in Israel.
  
Today, he joins The Front Page, to talk about how this war could escalate and what both sides are hoping to achieve.
