In its latest appeal, South Africa has called on the UN's top court for urgent measures to order a halt on Israel's assault on Rafah. Since early this month, Israeli forces have been pounding the southern city where more than 1.5 million Palestinians had taken shelter, after escaping from other parts of Gaza. Hundreds of thousands are being forced to flee again. Israel says its operation is limited and aimed at targeting the last stronghold of Hamas in Rafah. South Africa calls it a 'genocidal act'. The International Court of Justice has ordered some provisional measures since Pretoria first filed a case in January. But Israel has largely ignored them. So can the ICJ enforce its orders? And will its decisions make any difference, apart from affecting world opinion?

For years, Israel and Turkey had been crucial trade partners. It was a commercial relationship worth nearly 7-billion dollars a year. But Israel's war on Gaza changed all that. The Turkish government has been demanding a halt to the violence that's killed nearly 35,000 Palestinians. Ankara has now announced a total trade ban until Israel agrees to a ceasefire. But has President Recep Tayyip Erdogan acted under domestic pressure, after a setback in local elections was blamed partly for continuing to do business with Israel? And how will this affect the economies of both sides?

Successive US administrations across the political divide have backed Israel since it was created in 1948. But polls suggest that unequivocal public support now appears to be waning, especially among the young.A Pew Research study two years ago indicated that only 41% in the age-group of 18 to 29 had a favourable view of Israel. And many from this generation are now protesting in university campuses against the war on Gaza. So, is the anger among young Americans highlighting a generational divide in Washington's policy towards Israel? And what are the reasons reshaping public opinion?

Ban children from social media? No! Ban social media. Everyone has a right to their opinion but no right to a platform in order to vomit their madness all over the world.
long live the resistance and Hezbollah💪🏻💪🏻
lol mo money mo problems
For how long is this conflict going to go on for??
as expected, this was more of banning Russian media than protecting press freedom. couldn't listen to the end, boring repetitive one-sided so-called analysis.
Try as hard as you can to justify it, but everyone knows it is unjustifiable. You're only destroying your own face, forcing us to rethink your reliability as a neutral news source. Punish Russian sportsmen to prevent world war 2?? what a solution! everything that West was preaching (read using against) the world is destroyed in less than 3 weeks.
needless to say, it is obvious how much accurate analysis the world is getting when all 3 guests are like-minded fellows.
Loosing trust in Aljazeera, for around 2 weeks now only playing one side of the story. Why don't let us hear from Russian side? Can it be really that black and white? evil vs good? with no bigger context?
no it's a democracy reclaiming it's freedoms
how balanced. all pro eu guests
Utterly discredited reporting. You edited out the Chinese rebuke telling its US hosts :you do not speak to China from a position of power. Watch your tone as you speak to us. This shows the US was mocked in its own house.
As a refugee I deeply understand how painful it is to be UNWANTED, and this conversation made me feel really sorry for all refugees and raised many unanswered questions. God helps us all.
No matter what happens, the whataboutism continues...
I love the show
great podcast
