“Iran has been around for 3,000 years as a major power in the Middle East. You cannot just deal with Iran in the way that you could deal with anyone else”

Wadah Khanfar is the founder and executive director of Al Sharq Forum. He is also the former director general of Al Jazeera Media Network.

We speak to Khanfar about Gaza, the prospect of regional war, what it means to be a Palestinian and an Arab at this moment in time, and how the frustration being felt by Arabs due to “genocide” in Gaza will manifest itself.
