We speak with Mosab Abu Toha, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Palestinian poet and author from Gaza, who responds to recent developments in the region including the Trump administration's policy on Palestine, a recent report finding that the genocide's death toll is much higher than originally reported and more.

My grandparents were living in Yaffa in 1948 before they were expelled. They didn't know about the Bible." He notes that the situation in Gaza remains dire despite the so-called ceasefire. "It's still a genocide, ongoing."
