Ahmed Alnaouq and Hala Hanina go beyond the headlines and hysteria, examining the widespread attacks on Zack Polanksi and the Green Party by the media and political establishment, Starmer’s latest assault on Palestine solidarity in Britain and whether these local elections spell the beginning of the end for his party.
As always, the realities on the ground in Palestine remain central to our discussion, we’ll be hearing from our contributors in Gaza, Huda and Ali Skaik, to tell us what the situation is under continued siege and genocide.
