Fears of a war in the Middle East are growing – after a senior Hamas leader was killed in Tehran last week. It’s prompted Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters to urge New Zealanders in Lebanon and Iran to leave now while options remain available. Those in Israel are also being asked to consider ‘whether they need to remain in the country’. It comes as the war between Israel and Hamas nears the 10 month mark, with no sign of abating, despite multiple efforts from the US and Middle Eastern leaders to try and bring peace to the region. To discuss the ongoing threat of war, today on The Front Page we’re joined by University of Otago professor Dr Leon Goldsmith.
