There are no easy solutions for Israel as it decides when to enter Gaza.

It’s clear there is hesitation, perhaps thanks to the continued involvement of the United States, about the difficulty in entering Gaza and the impact it will have on the region.

Gaza will provoke a very urban conflict for Israeli troops, and it may not be a quick war either.

You only have to look back to 2017 when the plan was to remove ISIS from Iraq and the city of Mosul.

It’s an effort that can take months, even years, and the determination and motivation of thousands of troops.

But there are many other reasons to pause and think before entering Gaza. Hamas has hostages, and their families are appearing on TV demanding the West take action to bring them back.

From the French president to the American president, efforts are underway to free the hostages. And the harder we try, the more Hamas knows what they have, and the harder the task will be for Israel.

Hostages concern

One of the leading Israeli newspapers Haaretz – albeit one usually critical of the Israeli government – said yesterday in its main editorial that there should be no military action while there are hostages in Gaza.

Whatever Israel decides to do, difficult choices will have to be made.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
