Episode description

More than 40,000 Palestinians have been killed as a result of Israeli military action in Gaza since the 7 October Hamas-led attack on Israel, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. Negotiations over a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal have resumed today in Doha, with mediators facing a number of potential sticking points including control of land along Gaza’s border with Egypt. We get analysis from an Israeli pollster, and hear from a displaced Palestinian woman about life inside Gaza.
