Polio documented in Gaza: Kalam Digest 3

In this week's news summary, Sam and Edgar discuss the failing ceasefire negotiations and the recent escalation between Israel and Hezbollah.

In addition, we look at the Israeli Minister for National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and his violent settler supporters who recently stormed the Al Aqsa Mosque compound, harassing Palestinian worshippers and proclaiming the building of the third temple.

In horrific news from Gaza, the first case of Polio has been detected among a population whose suffering has not ended for the better part of a year.
