Episode description

Today we hear from Ziv, who was at the Nova music festival and saw her friends die. Her boyfriend is a hostage. And from Eli whose 18 year old daughter Liri is being held by Hamas.

And we ask the Israeli government why they’re so convinced their plan is working.

The Israeli government insists their war against Hamas is working. But there are 130 Israeli hostages still in Gaza, and many many thousands of dead civilians.

Later, we discuss voter ID and whether the Tories are disenfranchising the young from voting.
