Podcasts about Gaza

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. US President Donald Trump on Tuesday denied that Israel dragged the US into war with Iran, insisting that if anything, the opposite could be true and that he felt Iran was going to attack first. These remarks come as politicians and media influencers on both sides of the US aisle condemn "Israel's war" and point their fingers at the Jewish state. In the first half of the program, we take a deep dive into Iran's greater existential threat to the Mideast -- and the world at large. Which nations appear to start internalizing that the extremist Islamist nation may actually do what it threatens it will? In the second half, we talk about the opportunity afforded at this time for Iranians to rise up and change their regime. It would be, posits Horovitz, more possible to see some form of "total victory" against the terror regime, as opposed to wiping out Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza.

Boots on the Ground: Gaza, October 7, and the USAID Cairo Standoff Host Larry Alex Taunton explains why he stayed largely silent on the Israel–Gaza war until gathering firsthand information in Egypt and Israel. He recounts entering the fortified USAID compound in Cairo, triggering a prolonged standoff involving Cairo police and Egyptian secret police who demanded his phone, passport, and compliance, and he describes later being “swatted” at home by heavily armed police after a false mass-shooting call. Taunton says Israel allowed broad access, including briefings from Israeli officials and travel to the Gaza border, and he argues October 7, 2023 was a large-scale, multi-site act of war involving about 7,000 attackers, rockets, and extensive planning aided by foreign support and Gaza work-visa intelligence gathering. He rejects conspiracy theories, criticizes UNRWA's bias, and ends with details about Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's history, including Israeli surgery that saved his life before a 2011 prisoner swap.

//The Wire//2000Z March 3, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: DRONE AND MISSILE ATTACKS CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE PERSIAN GULF. SAUDI FORCES DEPLOY TO QUELL RIOTS IN BAHRAIN. MAJOR OIL FACILITIES SHUT DOWN THROUGHOUT MIDDLE EAST DUE TO STRIKES. ISRAEL LAUNCHES GROUND INVASION OF LEBANON.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Middle East: The Gulf War continues as Iranian forces begin shifting to strategic targets. Most of the drone/missile attacks overnight targeted oil production facilities, such as the Fujairah Industrial Zone in the UAE, which has been taken offline. Otherwise, the attacks on American installations continue, with the American Embassy in Riyadh being hit multiple times by drones overnight.Bahrain: Significant riots have broken out around the country, as the majority-Shia population begins expressing dissent with the Sunni government, and more specifically the American presence within the nation. Saudi Forces crossed the bridge this morning with anti-riot forces to help quell the more kinetic protests, which have become intense over the past 24 hours.Analyst Comment: Politics in Bahrain were complicated before the war, as the population is mostly Shia (and aligned with the Ayatollah), but the country is ruled by a Kingdom that is Sunni. Even before the shooting started the situation was tenuous at best, and the assassination of the Ayatollah might have been the spark needed to kick off a civil conflict within the island nation. This is a complicating factor for the United States, as Bahrain has long served as a major Center of Gravity for American combat power in the region. Now that some locals are getting rowdy (and are also aligned with Iran), this will make things more difficult.Lebanon: This morning Israeli forces launched a ground invasion in the south, opening up another front so as to seize terrain along the border. Lebanese Army forces have withdrawn from the border as Israeli units advance.Analyst Comment: It is not clear as to if this is a legitimate, full-scale ground invasion, or limited border incursions that Israel is known to do throughout southern Lebanon. So far, Israeli forces haven't crossed their limit of advance set during the height of the conflict two years ago.United Kingdom: A stabbing attack was reported in Edinburgh, which resulted in a standoff lasting several hours yesterday afternoon. One unidentified assailant began stabbing people an apartment building, which resulted in two people being wounded. After the attack, the suspect fled into the apartment building, which resulted in a standoff situation that lasted seven hours. Eventually, police were able to breach the building and detain the suspect.Separately, in Birmingham a different stabbing attack was captured on film this morning, which involved an assailant stabbing a man on the street outside a Catholic school in Alum Rock. This attacker was arrested at the scene, and very few details remain public regarding his identity.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Yesterday afternoon the US State Department published the list of nations that Americans should evacuate from, which includes the entire Middle East. The "depart now" order has been issued for the nations of: Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the UAE, and Yemen.However, the US State Department has stated that Americans are on their own regarding evacuations. Even though the start of this combat operation was easily predicted down to the exact day (and nearly the exact hour) that it began, the United States somehow believes that they needed to maintain the element of surprise. The State Department believed that if they made attempts to evacuate the Middle East before the attack, the world would know that the war was imminent. This is also why many American bases appea

We have had many media panics about swarms and hordes, about infestations and plagues of dangerous insects and arachnids that promise to rain destruction down on the defenseless American public. My guest today is comedian Akilah Hughes, host of the podcast How Is This Better? We are talking about our American fear around sensationalized bugs, from killer bees to infected mosquitos to floating spiders to the kissing bug. We'll discuss what these panics can tell us about the language of our politics and the way mass hysteria can create monstrous problems from perceived threats, no matter how tiny.

As one of the world's most respected journalists, CNN's chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour has witnessed some of the most consequential events of our time. In the Middle East, she has reported from the frontlines in the 1991 Gulf War, the 2003 American-led invasion of Iraq and exclusively from the Baghdad courtroom at the trial of Saddam Hussein, where the former dictator was eventually sentenced to death for crimes against humanity. Her fearless reporting from conflict zones has taken her to places including the Balkans, Syria, Sudan, Israel, Gaza, Ukraine, Venezuela and beyond. Throughout her career she has sought to challenge world leaders, expose war crimes and help viewers understand the consequences of war and peace. In February 2026 she came to the Intelligence Squared stage to help us make sense of the World in 2026. Alongside journalist and broadcaster Ritula Shah, Amanpour addressed some of the key questions of our time. Will Donald Trump name a successor or try to seek a third term as U.S. President? Could wars in Ukraine, the Middle East and Sudan escalate beyond their borders and cause global unrest? And what should journalism look like in a world of increasingly sophisticated AI and unregulated social media? --- This is the first instalment of a two-part episode.

The 'Lion Roared'—Now Who Takes Over Iran? Iran's leaders are falling fast. But will the IRGC hold on like the Hamas in Gaza? Or will it collapse? What's really happening behind closed doors? If the IRGC falls, who grabs power? A kinder regime... or another hostile one? And scarier: What if the IRGC DOESN'T fall? Today on Israel at War with Tamar Yonah & Matt Zucker: War costs, missiles, casualties, and real talk with Israelis across the country—where they were when it started, how they're coping now, and—are they actually glad the war began? We speak with: Susie from the Golan Motti from www.MrAshkelon.com and Mazal who lives in the center of the country, in a trailer home WITHOUT a safe room. Plus: Dr. Francisco Gil-White ( www.managementofreality.com ) joins live from Israel under red alerts and missiles. He breaks down what could happen next... including the nightmare where the IRGC stays in control. Don't miss it—tune in now. Things are heating up fast. The Tamar Yonah Show 01MAR2026 - PODCAST

What began as a conversation did not stay there. It turned into persistence. Into urgency. Into late-night phone calls and constant coordination. Into people refusing to sit still.At the center of it was a question: What do the people of Gaza need right now, and how do we get it to them?Clean Shelter was born from that question, and from two women who refused to be bystanders.In this episode, we are joined remotely for the first time this season by Seba AbuDaqa and Tom Kellner, founders of the German NGO now working alongside teams on the ground in Gaza. But this work does not begin abroad. It begins inside Gaza itself. The volunteers there know what their communities need. They know the terrain, the shortages, and the risks. They know how to build, repair, and distribute under impossible conditions.Seba and Tom walk us through the logistics and daily problem-solving behind what they call “the bare minimum”: sanitary needs and shelter solutions for tens of thousands of Gazans. What sounds simple on paper requires resourcefulness, trust, and people on the ground who are willing to act.While the world debates the future of Gaza, Clean Shelter is urgently tending to its present, one tent, one desalination unit, and one toilet at a time.This is a conversation about refusing to let dialogue end at words, and about what happens when people carry it forward into action.Donate to Clean Shelter here, and be sure to check out HUMAN EYES - a powerful project with proceeds going directly to them.Disclaimer: This episode was recorded on December 1, 2025.

Netflix is backing out of a bid to acquire Warner Brothers Discovery, clearing the way for Paramount to take over. On this week's On the Media, what happens to journalism and democracy when a tiny group of billionaires are calling the shots. Plus, four years since Russia's war on Ukraine began, a look at the legacy of the first American reporter who was killed there. [01:00] Host Micah Loewinger speaks with  Victor Pickard, professor of media policy and political economy at the University of Pennsylvania, to discuss why what's happening at CBS, The Washington Post, and Paramount is simply the latest stage of a phenomena called "media capture," and what we can do to free ourselves from its binds. [17:58] Micah first sits down with Miriam Berger, a Pulitzer-finalist who spent two years reporting from Israel on the war in Gaza for The Washington Post, to talk about what we've lost with the termination of the paper's Middle East bureau, and then Jodie Ginsberg, CEO of the Committee to Protect Journalists, on why her organization labeled 2025 the most deadly year for the press since it began collecting data–largely due to Israeli forces in Gaza.  [35:49] Micah talks to filmmaker Craig Renaud about his Oscar-nominated documentary, “Armed Only With a Camera,” which is part tribute to his brother, Brent Renaud, the first American journalist to be killed by Russian soldiers while covering the war in Ukraine, and part salute to war journalists who are still reporting and risking their lives.   Further reading / watching: “The American Media Polycrisis: Cascading Layers of Capture,” by Victor Pickard “Lack of tents, food and warm clothes leaves Gazans exposed ahead of winter,” by Miriam Berger “Record 129 press members killed in 2025; Israel responsible for 2/3 of deaths,” by CPJ Staff Armed Only with a Camera: The Life and Death of Brent Renaud, directed by Craig Renaud and Brent Renaud On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

In this explosive Chicks on the Right interview, Jewish activist and PragerU host Shabbos Kestenbaum breaks down the controversy surrounding Carrie Prejean Boller (Candace Owens' close ally) at President Trump's White House Religious Liberties Commission. Kestenbaum, who testified on American religious discrimination, reveals how Boller derailed an antisemitism hearing by fixating on Israel, wearing a Palestine pin, and coordinating via text with a Palestinian activist—leading to her removal from the commission.He exposes "Israel Derangement Syndrome" in figures like Tucker Carlson, who obsesses over Gaza while ignoring U.S. domestic issues, and critiques how grifters profit from anti-Jewish narratives targeting young conservatives. Kestenbaum discusses rising antisemitism on campuses, the importance of prosecuting real crimes (not speech), his altruistic kidney donation to a stranger, potential future congressional run, and why true conservatism rejects conspiracy theories.Plus, heartfelt moments on faith, Poland as America's ally in Europe, and why religious liberty must focus on American lives—not foreign conflicts.Subscribe and stay tuned for new episodes every weekday!Follow us here for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:YoutubeFacebookInstagramTikTokXLocalsMore InfoWebsite

As Iran tensions spike and U.S. evacuations from Israel begin, how close are we to another regional war?  In our latest podcast, Mosheh sits down with Israel's Ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, for an urgent, wide-ranging conversation about Iran, Gaza's endgame, and Israel's standing in America — at a moment that could reshape the Middle East.We begin with diplomacy with Iran, the fallout from the 12-day war, and what comes next if negotiations fail. Leiter describes Iran's leadership as “homicidal and suicidal” argues that “if the diplomatic route is not going to work, then there's really no other choice left,” and says Israel will act regardless of political pressure: “You're with us — we're happy. You're not with us — we're going to protect ourselves.” The conversation turns to Gaza and the future for Palestinians. Leiter says Israel will “no longer allow jihadis on our border,” insists Hamas must be disarmed and Gaza demilitarized. He argues Israel has entered a new era after October 7: “We're October 8th Israelis now.” He also forcefully rejects genocide accusations as a “blood libel,” claims Israel fought “the most ethical war… in modern history,” and adds a searing personal note: “My son (who was killed in the war) might be alive today if we did what we're being accused of doing.” Finally, Leiter discusses falling support for Israel in the U.S., the political fractures in Washington, media narratives, and the line between criticism of Israel and antisemitism. Leiter's blunt assessment: “Survival is not a popularity contest” — and “the world was used to dead Jews. Mosheh Oinounou (⁠@mosheh⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.

Hawk breaks down the overnight U.S. and Israeli joint military strikes on Iran, launched without Congressional approval while Trump was at Mar-a-Lago. The attack hit five or six locations across Iran, including the capital, with reports that a missile struck a girls' elementary school, killing 53 children between the ages of 7 and 12. Trump sent real estate developers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to negotiate with Iran before the strikes, a move Hawk puts in sharp context given Kushner's reported interest in Gaza beachfront development. Iran retaliated against U.S. military bases in Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE. The stated justifications for the Iran war shift depending on the day. Trump had previously claimed Iran's nuclear program was already eliminated. Now it's the reason for bombing. Regime change through air power alone has never succeeded historically, and with Iran's population of 92 million, the prospect of prolonged occupation and a refugee crisis of potentially 10 million people is very real. Financial ties between Trump, his family, and Gulf monarchies like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar raise serious questions about whose interests this war actually serves. Jared Kushner's financial backers and Trump Organization investments in the region are all part of that picture. Even inside MAGA, the backlash was immediate. Marjorie Taylor Greene called the administration "sick liars." Conservative commentators declared it the end of MAGA. Trump supporters who were promised America First and no forever wars are now watching another Middle East war unfold with no defined objective, no exit strategy, and no honest accounting of the cost.

The debate around Scream 7 has become much bigger than a horror franchise. After Melissa Barrera was fired following her public support of Gaza, many fans began calling for a boycott — arguing that the studio's ties to Israel represent support for policies they believe amount to genocide.But is boycotting the film enough?In this episode, I break down the discourse surrounding Scream 7, Melissa Barrera's firing, and the broader conversation around Gaza and “Free Palestine” activism. More importantly, I explore a deeper question: are we practicing complete activism — or selective activism?It's easy to withdraw support. It's harder to intentionally redirect it.If we admire courage, are we willing to fund it? If someone takes a stand aligned with our values and pays a professional price, do we materially support their work afterward? Or does our activism stop at the symbolic gesture?This conversation isn't about telling you whether to see Scream 7. It's about examining how we practice our values — in culture, in media, and in the systems we participate in every day.We'll also clarify something critical: when it comes to Gaza or any humanitarian crisis, direct financial support to reputable aid organizations should always come first. Cultural boycotts are secondary. Lives are primary.Let's talk about consistency, integrity, and what real alignment looks like.

Lotfi El Hamidi is journalist en schrijver. Zijn carrière begon als docent geschiedenis en maatschappijleer. Als Martin van Amerongen-fellow kwam El Hamidi in 2016 te werken bij de Groene Amsterdammer. In 2017 ruilde hij de Groene in voor NRC, waar hij sindsdien opiniestukken schrijft. Bij NRC maakte hij samen met Wafa Al Ali de podcastserie ‘Generatie 9/11', over hoe jonge moslims een wereld navigeerden waarin zij plotseling ‘de ander' waren. Later schreef hij hier een gelijknamig boek over. Zijn nieuwe boek ‘Stakkers en wolven. In de schaduw van Gaza' gaat over hetzelfde anti-islamitisch en racistische gedachtegoed dat begon in 2001 en nu weer opleeft. Hij reflecteert op de geschiedenis, de maatschappij en zijn persoonlijke ervaringen. Ellen Deckwitz gaat met Lotfi El Hamidi in gesprek.

Bill Clinton has told a Congressional committee that he was unaware of the crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein. Mr Clinton said he saw nothing and did nothing wrong during his acquaintance with the late sex offender. Democrats have described the tone of the closed door hearing as civil, saying Mr Clinton answered every question.Also in the programme: Pakistan defence minister says country in 'open war' with Afghanistan after strikes; Ramadan in Gaza; and we'll talk to a judge at the International Criminal Court, who was sanctioned by the US after the court issued an arrest warrant for Israel's prime minister.(Photo credit: AFP)

Mary Danielsen Mary takes on some headlines today with a theme: why is everyone so angry? In particular, what things just set people off in a frenzy of emotional vitriol? Well, the nation of Israel for one, in particular those peculiar people of God, the Jews (we are all peculiar people according to the Bible) – those set apart as His own. People can’t seem to run out of things to be furious about. The nations, they do rage. We look at an article about Tucker – yes, another one on his encroaching insanity – but this one asks the question, what does he want from the Jews, that he is so obsessed? A foundational look. We also look at Gaza and the Peace Board’s plan to renovate it. But not just with brick and mortar –  it will be the first controlled technocracy piece of real estate on earth. What does that mean? Then we talk about anger, what the Bible says about it and how to avoid just being part of the mob.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Lazar Focus. Each Friday, join host diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. There is a religious community in Israel dedicated to spreading peace throughout the country and beyond. Days after October 7, this community opened its doors for hundreds of Israelis from diverse backgrounds, stressing the importance of maintaining peaceful dialogue between ethnic and religious groups. That community is Muslim. The Ahmadiyya number only around 2,000 in Israel, but are part of a global community of some 20 million. In today's Lazar Focus, Imam Imad Al Masri, a Jordanian cleric living in Haifa, explains the origins of his sect and makes an impassioned case for the Ahmadiyya vision for spreading peace around the world. As he marks the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, he discusses the community's outreach in Palestinian areas, including in the Gaza Strip under Hamas rule and during the recent war there. Al Masri recounts the reaction of the Ahmadiyya community to the October 7, 2023, attacks and how they dealt with initial suspicions from their Jewish neighbors. As Israel maintains a shaky ceasefire in Gaza and prepares for a possible war with Iran, the Ahmadiyya present an unwavering call for peace that many find refreshing and uplifting. Lazar Focus can be found on all podcast platforms. This episode was produced by Gabriella Jacobs and video edited by Ari Schlacht.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The brothers welcome the investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill of Drop Site News back to the show to discuss the looming threat of a joint US-Israeli attack on Iran, the various forces driving US foreign policy, the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and the capacity of Palestinian steadfastness to withstand either the plan for the dystopian reduction of Gaza to a wasteland of biometric concentration camps and foreign privatization and profiteering or the ongoing Israeli drive for total annihilation.   Date of recording: Feb 26, 2026 Watch the video edition on our YouTube channel Follow us on our socials: X: @MakdisiStreet YouTube: @MakdisiStreet Insta: @Makdisist TikTok: @Makdisistreet Music by Hadiiiiii Sign up at Patreon.com/MakdisiStreet to access all the bonus content, including the latest Q&A

War with Iran is no longer a distant possibility. It's a looming reality. As tensions reach a boiling point, the question is no longer if the Middle East will shift, but when. n this urgent and eye-opening episode of Stakscast, Jonathan Conricus — Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and former international spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces — lays out what a potential U.S. strike on Iran could actually look like. We examine the growing threat from Tehran, the expanding shadow war encircling Israel, and what a full-scale conflict could mean not just for the region, but for the entire world. From Hamas' grip on Gaza to the strategic alignment between Qatar and Turkey, new power blocs are forming behind the scenes — and they could dramatically reshape the balance of power across the Middle East.  The lines are being drawn. The alliances are forming. And the world is watching. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The headlines are swirling again — aircraft carriers repositioned, bombers forward deployed, evacuation advisories issued, Iran threatening retaliation, and President Trump warning Tehran that time is running out. Whether a strike comes this week, next month, or not at all is almost secondary to the larger reality staring us in the face: The Middle East is once again the prophetic epicenter of the world.“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:3 (KJB)On this episode of Rightly Dividing, Iran has been tightening its grip around Israel for years — through Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, militias in Syria and Iraq, and direct missile and drone capabilities. Meanwhile, America — whether under Trump or any other president — is pulled deeper into the region's unavoidable gravitational field. Why? Because Jerusalem is the burdensome stone. Notice what that verse says — all the people of the earth. That includes superpowers. That includes alliances. That includes nations that think they can manage the situation through deterrence, diplomacy, or force projection. Making its debut in this conflict will be the brand-new kamikaze drone unit known as Task Force Scorpion. And what about the Board of Peace? We have all the updates you need to know about what's happening in the Middle East, and all around the globe.

Fresh off their Jordan trip, Harry and Meghan pop up virtually at the NAACP Image Awards, present a digital civil rights prize and double down on Gaza aid messaging. But reports swirl that Jordan's King Abdullah the Second and Crown Prince Hussein declined to meet them, leaving only a brief encounter with Princess Basma. Meghan swaps heels for $140 suede boat shoes at a refugee camp, dials back jewelry at World Central Kitchen, and earns both praise and eye-rolls in the British press. As nostalgia pieces call Harry the Windsor who “refreshes the parts others cannot reach,” betting markets suggest Meghan's lifestyle brand As Ever could pivot into fashion. Meanwhile, a childhood letter from Queen Elizabeth the Second heads to auction, a reminder of a very different royal era.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

This week Lara and Michael sit down with one of the world's most renowned Palestinian authors Susan Abulhawa. We discuss her trips to Gaza the writing workshops she organized and the subsequent compilation of stories from people in Gaza that became Every Moment Is a Life: Gaza in the Time of Genocide. We talk about the time spent in Gaza, the horrors she witnessed, and the community she built. Susan tells us about her children's book Palestine On the Moon which is available to purchase (within the US) from her website. 

When Mohammad was 12 years old, he saw an Israeli soldier aiming at him. Seconds later, he shot Mohammad in the leg during the Great March of Return. The bullet severed the main nerve in Mohammad's leg. For months, Israel denied Mohammad his right to leave Gaza for urgent medical treatment. By the time he finally received care, it was too late. At 18, Mohammad was forced to make the brutal decision to amputate his own leg. In this episode of This is Palestine, we shed light on the documentary Severed, which follows Mohammad and his mother's life in Egypt after evacuating to continue his medical treatment during Israel's genocide in Gaza. We speak with Mohammad, the protagonist and co-producer of Severed, and with filmmaker and producer Jen Marlowe. Together, they explore what it means to survive injury, to be cut off from home, to carry the responsibility of telling the story of those still trapped in Gaza, and why Palestine must also be understood as a disability justice issue.

He was born to a wealthy, noble family in Thessalonica around 347. Filled more and more with a yearning for God, he abandoned his worldly possessions and traveled to Egypt, living for five years as a monk at Sketis. From there he went to Palestine, where he lived for another five years in a cave in the Jordan desert. Suffering from a severe ailment, he was forced to move to Jerusalem; there he was suddenly and completely cured following a vision on Golgotha, in which he saw the Good Thief come down from the cross to lead him to Christ, who gave the Cross into his keeping.   Porphyrius took up the trade of a shoemaker in Jerusalem to provide for his few needs. His humility and charity became so well-known that the Bishop of Jerusalem ordained him to the priesthood at the age of forty-five, and made him Stavrophylax, keeper of the True Cross of the Savior — thus fulfilling Porphyrius' vision on Golgotha. Three years later, much against his will, he was elected Bishop of Gaza.   Throughout his episcopate he was persecuted by the pagans who still dominated the life of that city — though he was able to convert many of them by his own example of holiness, and by the many miracles that were wrought through his intercessions. Once, when the city was suffering from a long drought, the Saint gathered the city's Christians (who numbered no more than 280), told them to fast, and celebrated an all-night vigil. The next morning, as the Bishop and his entire flock went in procession through the city it began to rain. At this, 127 pagans were converted. When the pagans' violent attacks continued, Porphyrius appealed to the Emperor Arcadius for an edict closing of the pagan temples in Gaza. With the support of St John Chrysostom the edict was issued. When the Imperial representatives entered Gaza, accompanied by Bishop Porphyrius bearing the Cross, the statue of Aphrodite in the city's main temple shattered into pieces. Eight temples were destroyed, and a Church was built on the site of the largest. Hundreds of pagans embraced the Faith and, after instruction, were baptized by the Saint.   After twenty-five years as bishop, during which he had seen his see transformed from a small flock of beleaguered Christians into a Christian territory, Saint Porphyrius reposed in peace in 420.
