The first guest this evening on Politics Hub with Sophy Ridge is Baroness Pauline Neville-Jones.She who chaired the Joint Intelligence Committee between 1993 and 1994, and served as security and counterterrorism minister from 2010 to 2011.She says the 'most troubling' element of the Israel-Hamas war at the moment is there is 'absolutely no sign of any political activity of a kind' that might bring the fighting to a conclusion.
Asked if she supports a ceasefire, however, she replies: 'No. For the very simple reason that that does actually make it very difficult for the Israelis.'She adds: 'We should be under no illusions - Hamas is calling for the destruction of Israel. That's what 'from the river to the sea' means.'People should not lend their support to this idea.'She says there is 'no doubt' that Hamas is an existential threat to Israel.
