Last Wednesday, we had Israel's voice well-represented on the show to talk about its war with Hamas, a militant group of Palestinians who are said to be in control of the Gaza Strip and parts of the West Bank. <br /><br />The Deputy Chief of Mission or Deputy Ambassador of the Israeli Embassy in Manila was with us in the studio. And a former Philippine Ambassador to Israel joined us from Tel Aviv where she was visiting her son. <br /><br />We then had someone to represent the Palestinian view - Palestinian, not Hamas - Hadje Cresencio Sadje, who is now based in Brussels, Belgium.<br /><br />He was able to visit, inspect and monitor back in 2011 - the West Bank, Gaza and the areas where Israelis have settled. But he only had three minutes to explain his view. For Sadje, Israel occupied Palestinian land. <br /><br />He and the Ambassador of the State of Palestine to the Philippines, Amb. Saleh Mohammad join us on the show tonight. <br /><br />Join our chief correspondent and anchor Pia Hontiveros on #PoliticsAsUsual - your weekly political appointment fix.<br /> <br />Visit our website for more #NewsYouCanTrust: https://www.cnnphilippines.com/<br /><br />Follow our social media pages:<br /><br />• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CNNPhilippines<br />• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cnnphilippines/<br />• Twitter: https://twitter.com/cnnphilippines<br />
