About this episode

The episode discusses the ongoing suffering of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank amidst shifting global attention.

In the six months since a ceasefire was announced in Gaza, more than 800 civilians have been killed and living conditions have remained dire. Meanwhile, Palestinians in the West Bank face a surge in violence from Israeli settlers and soldiers. While the world’s attention has turned to the war in Iran, is there any end to the suffering in sight?
