Hello listeners! In this jam-packed episode of Palestine This Week, we'll be diving into the dire and deteriorating situation in Gaza as Israel's assault continues into its fifth month. With Israel under investigation at the ICJ for alleged breaches of the Genocide Convention, we’ll be asking why there’s been no restraint in its military operation since the World Court issued its ruling on 26 January and is it time for the apartheid state to admit defeat?We'll cover the growing global opposition to Israeli apartheid and its genocidal war in Gaza, from protest letters by hundreds of civil servants to shocking revelations of pro-Israel bias within American news service CNN.While also looking into how Israel's offensive has sparked wider regional unrest, with the US bombing targets in Yemen, Syria and Iraq in apparent retaliation. Additionally, we analyse US President Joe Biden's recent executive order introducing punitive measures against Israeli settlements and what impact it could really have. As always, I'll be joined by our regular guest Mouin Rabbani who will provide his insightful views on these pressing issues.

In this week's MEMO review with Mouin Rabbani we discuss the shocking decision by at least 13 states to suspend funding to UNRWA. What will the ramifications be? Is the suspension of aid a form of collective punishment following the decision of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) last week? While tensions spread across the Middle East, we also look at the killing of US soldiers in Jordan and America's position as Israel’s “proxy”, leaving it open to to risk its own soldiers and interests to defend its ally.Palestine This Week with Nasim Ahmed is a weekly analytical review of the biggest stories coming out of Palestine.

With the Al-Qassam Brigades re-asserting its dominance over northern Gaza, is Israel's withdrawal a sign that it is accepting that it can not eradicate the Palestinian resistance at a time when the occupation state's government is losing support domestically, or is something else at play? Nasim Ahmed and Mouin Rabbani discuss.
