let me uh start with you, bushra, it's it's the final official day of that so-called true. your thoughts on where we find ourselves now? well, the first thing that. comes to mind is um this breath breath that we can take, this short rest bite that people are talking about, in fact it really hasn't been that because it's been a tumoous time for families to go and search under the rubble for family members that they have lost, it's not time that they you're going to sit around and think oh thank thank goodness we've got four days, in fact it's about the the aftermath, it's like what's going to come next, it's probably it's probably even more heightened for them now knowing that this pause has come, but what is going to happen, mean for me the death toll is indefensible and families and individuals who are still trying to grieve they they haven't had the opportunity to do that and even in the four days they're still not going to get that because at the back of their mind they're like well we're just going to get bombarded again, the lull before the storm, whereas one protester

let's discuss all of the... with bushra sheikh here in the studio, bushra is business owner, turned socialal contributor for mainstream news, bringing the voice of ethnically diverse communities to the forefront alongside her via skype shakel afsar, a prominent activist to fights for the rights of muslims at home and abroad. welcome to you both. let me start with you, bush, this is now the second month of the israeli. in the gaza strip, your reflections on what's happening, i think i probably echo what the majority of the world and the public in general are feeling about it, it's the unrelenting attacks that have just been happening on the people of gaza right now at the moment, i mean one of the things that came to my mind is what, what were the leaders expecting was going to happen, we have just seen thousands of people, most of which have been children killed brutally. in the most criminal and hideous ways and we're still sitting here discussing why a ceasefire shouldn't happen? that's a very good question, let me put the same question to you um shakele and that is: "your reflections on

thank you for joining us, bushra khalidi, from - joining us, bushra khalidi, from oxfam.el say that israeli security concerns are vitally important. that is their reasoning for this sort of situation that precedes this conflict. this is a long running conflict, it is not a conflict that began on october the 7th, this is a conflict that runs long and deep and has done for decades here in the middle east. and i think what we are seeing now is oversee a new chapter, a new page in that conflict since the 7th of october. —— is to see. what we are seeing now is this four day deal. but you're talking about the lack of humanitarian aid moving into gaza and the fact it has increased, but still is not enough to meet the needs of people displaced in the strip —— bushra. there was the ceasefire and the hostage release which as we have been reporting, today's hostage release, the al-qassam brigades, the military wing say that has been delayed for the moment. but we did see hostages released yesterday. professor hagai levine is from the hostages and missing families forum. he gave us a

all right, and bushra, um, i want ask you a question about the media, they say, if you want to see who have actually lost their jobs, i know individuals are speaking up about it in their businesses at work and are being fired from their jobs, this is incredibly frightening because what that's telling us is there is a right side to be on and that doesn't necessarily mean that that's the right side for humanity, it's the right side for agenda and that's frightening and we i've been seeing it play out in real time, and the fact that we have individuals that can lose lose their livelihoods, over an opinion, not allowed to vocalize that, that's incredibly troubling. and shakil, so we have the mainstream media, the mainstream, and then we have information getting out to the people directly from the ground, how has that made a difference, do you think? well, as somebody who was... been vilified by the mainstream media and numerous accounts for just speaking up for the views and the passion and the decisions that the mainstream media won, it's absolutely this is a complete white wash, the fact

thank you for that bushra, um, let's have look at this other story that ties in well with the rest of the show. the temporary pause is allowing gozins to take stock of what has happened over the past 50 days, but more importantly search for missing loved ones in a scene that... will be repeated across the gaza strip, ali mehti returned to his home in the shati refugee camp over the weekend to search for his father and nephew with whom he had lost contact, when he finally located his lost relatives, the outcome was tragic. my father and my nephew were murted 14 days ago, 14 days ago they were lying in front of the door of the house, and my brothers were wounded, and there are marters here, our neighbor. and there are strangers, marters that we do not know, i after suffering for two days, and when the truce came, today with the help of young man, i was able to move my father's body and bury him inside my house, there is no ambulance, there is no red cross, there is no communication network, whether mobile or national, there is no lighting, there's no water, our lives have turned into he

we can speak now to bushra khalidi from oxfam. bushra, good to have you with us., so, yes, hope but not enough. and it's a very fragile hope. echoes from gaza, from my family, from my colleagues and friends doesn't necessarily echo the same hope that we have here in the comfort of our own homes. many of them — most of them are displaced, destitute, hungry, thirsty, they are mourning, tired, traumatised and have lost their homes and losing a home is like losing a future, losing hope for yourfuture. so, home is like losing a future, losing hope foryourfuture. so, it's home is like losing a future, losing hope for your future. so, it's a very complex situation to call it complete hope. i think hope is once we have a permanent, comprehensive ceasefire. �* , ., , ., ceasefire. indeed. bushra, with your oli lead ceasefire. indeed. bushra, with your policy lead had _ ceasefire. indeed. bushra, with your policy lead had on _ ceasefire. indeed. bushra, with your policy lead had on at _ ceasefire. indeed. bushra, with your policy lead had on at oxfam, - ceasefire. indeed. b

absolutely, i completely agree with bushra. going to come to the end of the show, let me thank my guests one more time, bush or sheikh alongside her on skype, shakiel afser. gaza under attack will be back tomorrow with more, until then continue to keep palestine in your hearts. goodbye. the us pushed one-sided mark of a ceasefire announced in northern gaza comes as a direct result of the failure of the israeli occupation army to achieve any significant battlefield accomplishments that could be. used in negotiations, this suggests that the israeli regime may soon be forced to reconsider its objectives to align with the outcome of the battles on the ground where they seem to send in their soldiers and they never return. nevertheless, netanyahu and his cabinet are still unwilling to agree to a ceasefire before achieving success that would alleviate the accountability they expect to face at the end of the war in the aftermath of the heroic al-aqsa flot operation and the failure of the grand operation in gaza, displacement or death,

tollonness, we are meant to feel heavy, we are meant to feel whatever we are feeling. my guests, bushra sheikh and jafar ramini have stayed with us since the start of the segment, thank you very much to both of you, uh, let me start, continue this segment with the jafar and my question to you, what, you said you were disappointment, disappoint? rather in in the way arab leaders have reacted or responded to this latest flare up, how would you have expected them to act in in stopping it from happening or bringing it to an end asap? from long long and bitter experience i did not expect anything from them other than what they're doing, they're all cards and collaborators, if you remember mr. mr. trump, who would have thought that i jaafar ramini will caught mr. trump, when when he said that without us, these people will not last two weeks in power, and that is the basic thing, these people are in power to serve the interest of the united states of america, we do not come into the equation, if the arab world with all the resources we have. with all the human resources and natural resources a
