It’s been a year since Palestinian resistance fighters, led by Hamas, broke through the siege of Gaza and the beginning of the ongoing genocidal campaign in Gaza by Israel. More than 41 000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel – which is 1 out of every 55 people. Hospitals have been bombed. Mosques and schools too. According to reports, more than 120 journalists have been killed. Israel doesn’t seem interested in stopping these attacks. In fact, they have only expanded their military campaign to other areas of the region, including bombing Lebanon, killing civilians in the process.

So, where are we right now and what can we expect moving forward?

Joining us to discuss is Muslim Imran, Founding Director, Asia Middle East Center for Research & Dialogue (AMEC).
