Podcasts about hamas' october

Hisham Awartani was visiting family in Vermont over Thanksgiving break in 2023 when he and two of his friends were shot. All three victims are of Palestinian descent and were wearing traditional Palestinian scarves when the attack happened. While his friends made full physical recoveries, 20-year-old Awartani now has to grapple with a new life that involves using a wheelchair. In this episode, producer Suzanne Gaber meets with Awartani on his last day in rehab before heading back to Brown University, where the shooting has made him a poster child for a cause that's deeply personal for him: the movement to free Palestine from Israeli occupation. Kai then speaks with William Youmans, an associate professor of Media and Public Affairs at the George Washington University, about Hisham's story and why so many people have become attached to it, revealing much about how American media has reported Palestinian narratives since Hamas' October 7th attack in Israel. Youmans also takes a look at how Palestinian-American identity in the U.S. has changed over time.

The United States and a dozen other countries have suspended funding of UNRWA (the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees) after Israel revealed that at least 12 UNRWA employees participated in Hamas' October 7 massacres. Israel has estimated that 10 percent of UNRWA's workforce has direct or indirect ties to terrorists in […]

The United Nations has announced an independent review into the methods and practices of its agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA. Fifteen countries - including its largest donor, the United States - have suspended their funding following Israel's allegations 12 of its staff participated in Hamas' October the 7th attacks. With UNRWA's future as the main provider of aid in Gaza in doubt, the investigation comes at a critical time for displaced Palestinians in the region.

Pulling the plug...More countries have cut funding for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. Israel says some of its staff were involved in Hamas' October attacks. But how valid is this accusation? And what does it mean for the people of Gaza? In this episode:  Samir Zaqout, Social Activist. Ardi Imseis, Professor of International Law, Queen's University.

The timing of US and Israeli allegations that United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff participated in Hamas' October 7 attack on the Jewish state was hardly coincidental.

South Africa accused Israel on Thursday of subjecting Palestinians to genocidal acts at the opening of hearings at the top United Nations court on a case brought against the devastating Israeli military campaign in Gaza. In hearings at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), also known as the World Court, South Africa demanded an emergency suspension of Israel's aerial and ground offensive in the Palestinian enclave, which it said was aimed at bringing about "the destruction of the population" of Gaza. "Israel has a genocidal intent against the Palestinians in Gaza," Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, advocate of the High Court of South Africa, told the court. "That is evident from the way in which this military attack is being conducted," he said, adding: "The intent to destroy Gaza has been nurtured at the highest level of state." Israel has rejected the accusations of genocide as baseless and accused Pretoria of playing "advocate of the devil" for Hamas, the Palestinian Islamist militant group Israel is waging war against in Gaza. The 1948 Genocide Convention defines genocide as "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group". South Africa points to Israel's sustained bombing campaign that has killed over 23 000 people in the small, densely populated Gaza Strip, according to health authorities in the Hamas-rum territory. "Every day, there is mounting, irreparable loss of life, property, dignity, and humanity for the Palestinian people," said Adila Hassim, advocate of South Africa's high court. "Nothing will stop the suffering, except an order from this court." South Africa has demanded that the ICJ order Israel to suspend its military campaign. Israel launched all-out war after a cross-border rampage on October 7 by Hamas militants in which Israeli officials said 1 200 people were killed and 240 taken hostage back to Gaza. Justice Minister Ronald Lamola said South Africa condemned Hamas' October 7 assault, but added that any attack, even one involving atrocious crimes, was not a justification for violations of the Genocide Convention. Post-apartheid South Africa has long defended the Palestinian cause, a relationship forged when the African National Congress' struggle against white-minority rule was cheered on by Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organisation. EMERGENCY RULING The ICJ is hearing South Africa's arguments on Thursday and Israel's response to the allegations on Friday. It is expected to rule on possible emergency measures later this month. The court will not rule at that time on the genocide allegations - those proceedings could take years. The ICJ's decisions are final and without appeal - but the court has no way to enforce them. With the politically charged case attracting global attention, supporters of both sides of the case planned marches and rallies in The Hague. Thousands of pro-Israel protesters marched in freezing temperatures in the city centre early on Thursday, carrying Israeli and Dutch flags and posters with images of people taken hostage by Hamas. Heavy police presence made sure the pro-Israel march and a pro-Palestinian march, with red-and-green coloured smoke symbolising the Palestinian flag, were kept separate. Gabi Patlis, a native of Tel Aviv who now lives in the Netherlands, said it was painful to hear Israel accused of genocide. "Especially after 7 October - we were the ones that were attacked," he told Reuters at the rally. ISRAEL SAYS ALLEGATIONS BASELESS Israeli forces launched their offensive after Hamas fighters carried out a lightning attack across the border in what became the deadliest day in Israel's 75-year history. Since then, the offensive has laid much of the heavily built-up territory, and nearly all its 2.3-million people have been driven from their homes at least once, causing a humanitarian catastrophe. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on social media platform X: "I want to make a few points absolutel...

In Episode 348 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Kamran Bokhari. Kamran is the Senior Director of the Eurasian Security & Prosperity Portfolio at the New Lines Institute for Strategy & Policy. He has served at the U.S. State Department and as a Senior Consultant with the World Bank. Kamran came on the podcast three months ago to discuss the violence ignited by Hamas' October 7th attacks against Israel and the nature and scope of Iran's involvement. Demetri asked him back on to re-examine how the war in Gaza is going and whether he still thinks that we could be headed for another major war in the Middle East. They spent the first hour discussing Israel's bombardment and offensive in Gaza, the strategic objectives of Israel's leaders, and whether they're achieving those objectives. They also discuss Netanyahu's political future and that of his governing coalition, the future of Israeli politics, and whether any hope remains for a negotiated peace process that could lead to a viable and independent Palestinian state. In the second hour, they broaden their focus to encompass the larger Middle East, including Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Houthis, and Hezbollah. They discuss how all of these different actors are repositioning themselves by exploiting the growing disorder for their own advantage as the Biden administration struggles to stabilize a region that may be on the verge of another major war.

It's News Day Tuesday! But first, Sam and Emma speak with Peter Beinart, editor-at-large at Jewish Currents, author of the Beinart Notebook on SubStack, and professor at the CUNY School of Journalism, to discuss his recent piece entitled "Harvard Is Ignoring Its Own Antisemitism Experts." First, Sam and Emma run through updates on an upcoming UN Security Council ceasefire vote, the Huthis' attacks on Red Sea shipping lanes, Biden's record (low) polling numbers, Google's monopolies, Rudy's big mouth, Medicaid, Texan fascism, and the EU's take-on of Twitter, also touching on the – uh – ‘diverse' representations of Trump's agenda between members of the GOP and the actual Donald Trump himself. Peter Beinart then joins, first tackling the evolution of the discourse around Israel's apartheid state over the last two months, before assessing the particular impact of Hamas' October 7th attacks in changing that conversation. Continuing, Beinart walks Sam and Emma through the consistent stifling of any non-violence Palestinian resistance movements and how that contrasts with the success of Hamas' and Hezbollah's militant actions to affirm the necessity of violence in the resistance, also touching on how this violence alongside the constant violence of the Israeli occupation gives little to no room for “legitimate” political movements to flourish. Next, they step back to look at the US in particular, exploring how, particularly among more conservative and traditional Americans (including Joe Biden), the direct parallels between the founding myths of the US and Israel bring out a passionate defense of settler-colonialism, and how the recentering of colonization and imperialism in a modern-day setting brings into question narratives of the moral arc of progress. After briefly touching on the ongoing divide in the “University” discourse, Beinart, Sam, and Emma look to the statist zionist project in general, exploring the absolute failure of Israel in creating any semblance of a safe space for Jewish people and why the only way to stop a violent anti-apartheid movement is ending apartheid, before they wrap up with an assessment of the Israeli polis, and what the “left” and “right” actually mean in Israel. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma run through some highlights from this weekend's TPUSA “America Fest,” plus John from San Antonio parses through AIPAC-DMFI's mass investment against Democratic candidates of color and the future of Biden's candidacy. They also parse through updates on the joint planning of January 6th between Trump's administration and conservative organizers, Kaitlan Collins continues her evisceration of Ron Johnson, Israeli politicians show off their dearth of knowledge about their own political situation, and Malcolm at Harvard calls in to discuss his perspective on Harvard's campus ongoings. They wrap up the fun half with some uplifting content courtesy of America's Mayors Rudy Giuliani and Eric Adams, plus, your calls and IMs!

Hamas' October 7 attack and the ongoing war in Israel is impacting St. Louis' Jewish community in different ways. Galit Lev-Harir was in Israel on October 7. She experienced the aftermath of Hamas' campaign of massacres and kidnapping, and says supporting Israel has never been more important. Hineni founder Tasha Kaminsky and others have joined their voices with Palestinians in demanding a ceasefire, and an end to Israel's military response.

*) Israeli army carries out overnight airstrikes across Gaza, causing dozens of casualties The Israeli army has carried out a series of overnight bombings across Gaza, causing dozens of casualties among the Palestinian people. The Palestinian official news agency Wafa reported an Israeli airstrike on a residential building of the Al-Yazigi family in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood of Gaza City, which left an unspecified number of casualties, including women and children. Another Israeli airstrike on a home in the Khan Younis refugee camp in southern Gaza caused several deaths and injuries. Israel resumed its attacks on Gaza on Friday after the end of a week-long humanitarian pause with the Palestinian resistance group Hamas. At least 15,899 Palestinians have been killed and more than 42,000 others injured in relentless air and ground attacks on the enclave since Hamas' October 7 surprise attack that killed 1,200 Israelis. *) Zelenskyy to address US senators by video as White House pushes Congress to support aid for Ukraine The Biden administration will urge Congress to approve a request of $106 billion of funding for the wars in Ukraine, Israel and other security needs during a classified briefing. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the administration invited Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to address the senators so they "could hear directly from him precisely what's at stake." In a letter to House and Senate leaders, Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young warned the US will run out of funding to send weapons and assistance to Ukraine by the end of the year. *) Niger ends EU defence, security partnerships Niger's military administration announced that it has ended two security and defence partnerships with the European Union as the country looks more towards Russia for defence cooperation. A statement issued by the Foreign Ministry said the state is withdrawing from the European Union Military Partnership Mission that was launched in February of this year, as well as from the 2012 EU civilian capacity-building mission established to strengthen the country's internal security forces. The development came on the same day a Russian delegation met with Niger's military leaders in the capital Niamey, with the two countries sealing a deal to strengthen defence cooperation. *) At least 6 people have died as heavy rains from Tropical Cyclone Michaung hit India's coasts Torrential rains and strong winds lashing India's southern and eastern coasts have killed at least six people, as states brace for a powerful storm expected to make landfall later in the day. The southern states of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, as well as Odisha in the east, experienced heavy downpours Monday as authorities issued warnings for Tropical Cyclone Michaung, according to the Indian Meteorological Department. India's weather department said parts of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh could see over 200 millimetres of rain as the storm approaches. *) Activists at COP28 summit ramp up pressure on cutting fossil fuels as talks turn to clean energy Activists have a series of events and actions lined up at the United Nations climate summit, seeking to amp up pressure on conference participants to agree to phase out coal, oil and gas. Negotiations are well underway on the so-called global stocktake — a framework for new national plans set for countries to adhere to capping warming to levels set in the Paris Agreement in 2015. A draft released Tuesday will be analysed by negotiators looking at how to stick to the goal. Over 100 countries have pledged to triple their renewable capacity and double energy efficiency by the end of the decade.

In the days since Hamas' October 7 attack against Israel, Harvard has faced division on campus and national backlash over its response. Tomorrow, Harvard President Claudine Gay will stand before Congress's House Committee on Education and the Workforce. Lawmakers will press her on antisemitism at Harvard as top donors continue to fume over the University's handling of tensions on campus. Some have threatened to pull their funding. Others already have. How will the House committee grill her, and how will she respond?This week on Newstalk, reporters Miles J. Herszenhorn '25, Emma H. Haidar '26, and Cam E. Kettles '26 join host Frank S. Zhou '26 to break down what to expect at the hearing and how donors are reacting on public platforms and private calls.

Renewed Israeli bombardment of Gaza after the ceasefire ended is worsening the humanitarian crisis. The U.S. wants Israel to do more to protect Palestinian civilians. What's the military's strategy? And can Israel learn from the intelligence failure that led to Hamas' October attack? Join Host Jonah Hull  Guests:  Oren Ziv - Journalist and photographer, +972 Magazine. Antony Loewenstein - Author of 'The Palestine Laboratory'. Omar Ashour - Professor of Security and Military Studies, Doha Institute for Graduate Studies.

Julia hits out at Owen Jones after he questioned Hamas' October 7th atrocities shown in an IDF screening.“Owen Jones, I genuinely think you should seek help. What you are doing and what you are saying is so deeply morally repugnant and wrong.”Douglas Murray says that Hamas is creating a “hostage situation within a hostage situation” by keeping "at least one member of each family.”“The returnees have to be extremely careful about what they say about the nature of their captivity.” Hosted on Acast.

Hamas' October 7 attack on Israel has not just divided Muslim political leaders. It's also solicited diverse responses from religious figures and institutions, reflecting deeper divisions about what Islam stands for in the 21st century. At the core of the differences is the ability and willingness to empathise with innocent victims on both sides of the Israeli-Palestnian divide, even if the focus is on the carnage caused by Israel's assault on Gaza, the West's double standards, and the international community's impotence in imposing a long-term halt to the fighting.

Erik is off leash on the ground in Israel! Reporting from the front lines of the Israel-Hamas War, Erik talks about being greeted with rockets upon his arrival in the country and seeing videos showcasing the unbelievable inhumanity and brutality of Hamas' October 7 attacks. He also breaks down the IDF's delicate operation to evict Hamas from Shifa Hospital without putting patients and medical providers in harm's way and explains why a cease fire would be a disaster for Israel and a victory for Hamas.

The United States has asked for clarification from Israel regarding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent comments that Israel will hold security responsibility for the Gaza Strip for an indefinite period after the war against the Hamas terror group. While backing Israel's right to self-defense against Hamas terror, the United States has also stressed the need to focus on the day after the war. The Biden administration has indicated the Palestinian Authority could play a role as an eventual governing body in Gaza, while Prime Minister Netanyahu, in remarks over the weekend appeared to reject this option, lambasting what he called an entity that educates children to want to eliminate Israel, supports terrorism and has net yet condemned Hamas' October 7 massacres that sparked the war. KAN's Naomi Segal asked Prof. Eytan Gilboa, an expert on US-Israel relations and a senior fellow at the  Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security, if there are signs of strain in the positions between the two countries.

“I knew right away that sexual violence was part of the events of October 7, but obviously, I could not have known the extent of the cruelty that Hamas engaged in,” says Professor Ruth Halperin-Kaddari, who served for 12 years on the UN Committee on Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women. Halperin-Kaddari now feels “completely betrayed” by the international women's rights organizations with whom she's worked for years, for their failure to condemn - or even recognize - the rape, kidnapping and other atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists against Israeli citizens on October 7. In conversation with Haaretz Weekly host Allison Kaplan Sommer, Halperin-Kaddari, a member of the newly-formed Civil Commission on Hamas's Oct. 7th Crimes Against Women and director of the Rackman Center for the Advancement of the Status of Women at Bar-Ilan University, explains that “unlike any previous incidents of 'conflict related sexual violence,' as the UN calls it, the Hamas terrorists had body camera and they filmed their actions. They broadcasted it both to the families of the victims and on social media, so the horrific footage emerged right away.” Also on the podcast, domestic violence advocate Lili Ben Ami, founder of the Michal Sela Forum, expresses her deep concern over the dramatic expansion of the ability of Israelis to obtain personal weapons in a campaign initiated by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. Her organization, she says, “is now receiving calls every day from worried women and domestic violence survivors” that their abusers will now get access to a firearm. When her group looked into the matter, she tells Haaretz Weekly, they found that the distribution plan did not contain a screening mechanism that would prevent men with a criminal record related to domestic violence from obtaining a gun.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pro-Palestine protests in Melbourne on Friday night were a display of “anti-Semitic, thuggish behaviour” and an attempt to assert primacy over Jewish Australians, the Coalition has claimed.  The opposition's defence spokesman Andrew Hastie made the claims on Sunday morning, as Defence Minister Richard Marles called for “careful language”.  Hundreds of pro-Palestinian supporters entered Caulfield, the heart of Melbourne's Jewish community, on Friday night to demonstrate after a Palestinian-owned burger shop in the suburb was destroyed by fire the night prior.  Hash Tayeh, who owns the Burgertory store, has previously attended pro-Palestine rallies, but had also spoken about his recognition of the plight of Israeli people in the wake of Hamas' October 7 attacks.  In an Instagram post on Friday, Mr Tayeh said the incident would “not deter me”.  “I am not a coward. My commitment to raising my voice for a ceasefire and peace remains unshaken,” he wrote.  While police had said they were “very confident” the blaze had not been racially or politically motivated, pro-Palestine supporters alleged it was a hate crime and called for supporters to gather on Friday night.  A clash was sparked after a nearby synagogue was evacuated and Jewish Australians began to counter protest.  It escalated into violence and the police had to break up the groups.  Organisers of the protest have apologised and claimed they did not realise there was a synagogue in close proximity.  Mr Hastie said Friday night had been “an assertion of one group over another for primacy in the public space”, and added it had undermined public safety and public order.  “The government has to lead, and they have to give clarity to the Australian people about what is acceptable and what is not acceptable behaviour,” he told Sky News.  “We can't be mealy mouthed about this. We have to be direct and clear.  “And for protesters to go into a suburb of Melbourne where we have a lot of Jewish Australians living and to impose themselves upon that group, and to do it in such an anti-social and thuggish way, is just unacceptable.”  Mr Marles said Jewish Australians had “never felt less safe” in Australia but welcomed the apology from the Free Palestine group who had organised the protest.  “What matters for those of us in positions of leadership is that we are using our voices to turn the temperature down, and that's actually how we get social cohesion and how we ensure that peace is maintained here in Australia,” he told Sky News.  “Jewish Australians have a right to feel safe, be safe in their own country – no ifs and no buts – and that standard applies to every Australian.”  Mr Marles said Australians had a right to demonstrate against what was happening in the Middle East and to put pressure on the government, but “social cohesion has to be paramount”.  “We do have to look after each other and acknowledge that other Australians are not the focus of the protest,” he said.  He said the damage caused to a Melbourne war memorial, coinciding with Remembrance Day on Saturday, was also “unacceptable”.  “People have a right to protest the issues that have been raised, and … we live in a country where there is freedom of expression … but people need to take responsibility for the way in which that is occurring,” he said.  “Defacing a war memorial does nothing to advance the cause of what's happening in Gaza. It does nothing to advance the cause of the humanitarian situation … but what it does do is add enormous stress to people seeking to commemorate a very sacred moment in our country's history.”  He said the government was remaining steadfast in its bid to “turn the temperature down”, alluding to growing calls for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza as the death toll in the Palestinian territory continues to climb.  Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong said the government had called for humanitarian pauses as a necessary first step.  “We need steps towards a ceasefire because we know that it cannot be one sided,” she told ABC's Insiders.  “Israel should do everything it can to observe international humanitarian law.  “We have seen a harrowing number of civilians, including children, killed. This has to end, and we are particularly concerned with what is happening with medical facilities.”  Mr Hastie meanwhile threw unequivocal support behind Israel.  “Hamas must be destroyed completely,” he said.  “I think Israel has shown great restraint … They've had people from across the globe calling on them for restraint and they've sent warnings to millions of people living in Gaza to evacuate … They've given the opportunity to get out of the danger zone.  “For people who say that Israel should show more restraint is I think ignoring the problem, which is that Hamas are using civilians as human shields.” - by Ellen Ransley, news.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the wake of Hamas' October 7th terror attacks on Israel, university campus protests were sparked against Israel and in favor of the Palestinian cause. Many of these college demonstrations featuring antisemitic chants or signs have been supported by some university staff, bringing many to question what exactly is being taught in America's educational institutions. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) believes cultural Marxism is to blame for this, arguing in his new book, "Unwoke,” that much of what is being spread in U.S. institutions is a dangerous far-left ideology. He joins the Rundown to discuss his new book, how it can explain the surge in anti-Israel and antisemitic incidents in higher education, and the misinformation surrounding the effectiveness of socialism. If someone is charged with domestic violence, is taking firearms away from them responsible or unconstitutional? The Supreme Court will soon decide. A 1994 law that prohibits anyone under a domestic violence restraining order from having a gun is currently being challenged by Zackey Rahimi, a Texas man who pleaded guilty to illegally possessing firearms after his right to own guns was struck down due to his involvement in five shooting instances in 2020 and 2021. On the Rundown, FOX News Contributor and law professor at George Washington University, Jonathan Turley, explains why he believes the Supreme Court took this case on, the current precedence surrounding this issue, and the different factors that make this case complex.

*) Israel strikes Gaza refugee camp again as UN warns of 'war crimes' Israel has hit Gaza's largest refugee camp with renewed air strikes, prompting UN rights officials to warn that targeting densely populated residential areas "could amount to war crimes." Bombs struck the Jabalia camp for a second time in two days, pulverising buildings and, according to the Palestinian health ministry, killing dozens of people. The UN's top human rights body — citing "the high number of civilian casualties" and scale of destruction — said it had "serious concerns that these are disproportionate attacks that could amount to war crimes." The Health Ministry in Gaza has reported that over 1,000 people were killed by Israeli strikes in the camp. *) Latin America ramps up condemnations of Israel's attack on Gaza Some of Latin America's biggest countries have condemned Israel's attacks on a densely populated refugee camp in Gaza, widening the diplomatic rift between the region and Tel Aviv. Argentina, Peru and Mexico lambasted the Israeli attacks, which the Gaza government said had killed more than a thousand people while hundreds others were wounded or unaccounted for under the debris. The criticisms come a day after Bolivia cut diplomatic ties with Israel while Colombia and Chile recalled their ambassadors to the country. *) US top diplomat to begin new Mideast tour amidst Israel's Gaza attacks US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is returning to the Middle East with a somewhat more nuanced message than he offered in the immediate aftermath of Hamas' October 7 operation. As he did last month, Blinken is expected to stress US support to Israel. Blinken's agenda this time is more complex as the conflict intensifies and the Biden administration grapples with competing domestic and international interests and anger. *) Deadly Russian attacks in eastern Ukraine damage Kherson city centre A Russian attack on Kherson in eastern Ukraine killed one person and caused serious damage in the city's centre, the region's governor said, and a Russian drone strike killed another civilian in the frequently targeted city of Nikopol.

Israeli ground forces conducted a small-scale raid in northern Gaza, where the IDF says they prioritized taking out Hamas fighters and anti-tank weaponry to “prepare the battlefield” ahead of their planned larger ground siege. As Israel retaliates against Hamas' October 7th terror attacks, the Biden administration has advocated for a humanitarian pause in the fighting in an attempt to minimize civilian casualties in Gaza. President of Eurasia Group, Ian Bremmer, joined the Rundown to discuss why he believes Israel's desire to invade Gaza is legitimate but foresees a negative impact on Israel's national security. He goes on to explain the distance from a two-state solution, the feasibility of eliminating Hamas, and the social media mirage promoting hateful division during this conflict. After nearly three weeks without a speaker, the House elected Congressman Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Wednesday. House Republicans are optimistic despite critics questioning the new Speaker's lackluster credentials. Several of his colleagues dropped out of the race before Speaker Johnson finally tossed his name into the ring, sparking rumors that GOP members were fed up with the process. FOX News Sunday Anchor and host of the Living the Bream podcast, Shannon Bream, discusses what the new Speaker has in store as the House works to pass 12 appropriations bills and later breaks down why former President Donald Trump's co-defendants are seeking plea deals in the 2020 election case.
