Navid Zarrinnal, a Columbia PhD in Middle Eastern studies, speaks with Canada-based Gazan activist and writer Nasser Najjar about Gaza,

This episode is about life in Gaza, life away from Gaza, October 7th, and the ceasefire.

Israel has broken the ceasefire and gone on a full offensive in the Gaza Strip, killing hundreds of Palestinians, with the blessing of the US.

Israel has launched a large airstrike on the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, the first heavy bombardment there since a ceasefire agreement ended a war between the occupying regime and Hezbollah resistance movement in November.

Gaza's Health Ministry says over 113,900 Palestinians have been injured in Israeli assault since October 2023.

Palestinian resistance movement Hamas says Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu “bears full responsibility” for the collapse of the ceasefire following his decision to renew strikes on Gaza.

The United Nations and the European Union have called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, as Israel has resumed its genocidal war on the strip.
