This episode tackles the expansion of Israel’s genocidal campaign into the illegally occupied West Bank, with a focus on Israel’s military assaults in Jenin and the tragic killing of American-Turkish activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi. We’ll examine the provocative and genocidal rhetoric surrounding the assault on the West Bank and explore the historical significance of Jenin as a centre of resistance.

The conversation then shifts to the ongoing crisis in Gaza, where we’ll discuss the alarming spread of infectious diseases amidst a humanitarian catastrophe. We’ll analyse Israel’s appointment of a ‘Chief Gaza Officer‘ and what it might signal for the future of the region. Plus, we’ll delve into recent developments, including the UN’s accusation of Israel conducting a ‘starvation campaign’ and ABC News‘ coverage of controversial events from 7 October.

Finally, we’ll explore the heated debate over control of the Philadelphi Corridor and its impact on potential ceasefire negotiations, with insights on Israel’s internal criticisms and the stark warnings from retired Major General Yitzhak Brik about Israel’s imminent collapse.
