The conflict in Gaza is heartbreaking, so we decided to have different perspectives on to help us learn more. For the Palestinian perspective we welcome Bassem Youssef. Bassem Youssef is a comedian, author and political commentator from Egypt who now lives in the United States. Bassem joins Theo to help us understand how Hamas came to be, that Palestine is being occupied, and to share his ideas for solution.
