We welcome back Prof Nasser Rabbat to discuss his latest book "Writing Egypt: Al-Maqrizi and His Historical Project," which focuses on the 14th-century historian labeled as Egypt's greatest historian. The director of the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at MIT outlines the journey and reasons behind his lengthy process of writing the book, the life and works of Al-Maqrizi, his significance in chronicling Egypt's history, and his unique subjective approach to historiography. We also delve into Al-Maqrizi's relationship with the famous sociologist Ibn Khaldun and the socio-political context of Egypt during the Mamluk period. The episode explores themes of patriotism, scholarly dedication, and the historical narrative of the Arab world. 00:00 Introduction01:01 Discussing Rabbat's New Book "Writing Egypt: Al-Maqrizi and His Historical Project"05:16 The Life and Times of Al-Maqrizi17:17 Al-Maqrizi's Historical Contributions20:02 The Mamluk Era and Its Impact on Scholarship26:52 Al-Maqrizi's Legacy and Influence38:40 Al-Maqrizi's Relationship with Ibn Khaldun41:54 The End of History and Ibn Khaldun's Influence43:00 Ibn Khaldun's Theory and Its Application44:33 Al-Maqrizi's Background and Scholarly Life47:43 Humor in Historical Writings49:24 Egyptian Identity and Nationalism53:09 Al-Maqrizi's Love for Egypt55:30 Modern Interpretations of Al-Maqrizi01:10:21 Egyptian Nationalism in the 20th Century01:19:01 Future Works Nasser Rabbat is the Aga Khan Professor and the Director of the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at MIT.  His interests include Islamic architecture, urban history, Arab history, contemporary Arab art, heritage studies, and post-colonial criticism.

This week, Part 2 of our Suez Crisis trilogy dives into the explosive events of 1956: Nasser nationalizes the Suez Canal, enraging Britain and France. Behind closed doors, the three powers—Israel, Britain, and France—draft a secret plan to launch a war on Egypt. From daring Israeli paratrooper raids in the Sinai to the storming of Sharm el-Sheikh, this episode unpacks the bold, complex, and controversial campaign that reshaped the region. Featuring secret diplomacy, battlefield drama, and the high-stakes politics of empire, "Combustion" is a story you won't forget. Click ⁠here⁠ for all the sources used in this episode.

Raúl Incertis, médico de urgencias y anestesista, voluntario de la ONG canadiense GLIA habla de la situación en el hospital Nasser de la Franja de Gaza, lugar donde trabaja: "El hospital cuenta con 270 camas y tiene ahora unos 700 pacientes ingresados que están por los pasillos". "Se han tenido que abrir UCI improvisadas que están llenas, el hospital ha sido atacado seis veces desde que llegué", comenta el médico."Llevo casi cuatro meses aquí [...] si hay una carnicería -un evento de múltiples víctimas donde llegan demasiados heridos al hospital como para que el hospital los pueda atender en condiciones normales- estamos hablando de que todos los días se produce en este hospital un 11M", declara Incertis. Sobre la desnutrición, el médico afirma: "Todos los pacientes que veo y que atiendo, todos sin excepción, están desnutridos. Todos los pacientes, todos mis compañeros, médicos, enfermeros, todos han perdido una media entre 25 y 30 kilos desde que empezó la venganza israelí". También denuncia los precios de la comida: "Una lata de atún te puede costar 10 dólares y a veces no la encuentras en el mercado. Un kilo de harina está aproximadamente por 30 dólares. Un kilo de arroz también, 25 o 30 dólares".Tras los meses de calvario, el médico ha tomado la decisión de irse de Gaza: "Regreso esta semana que viene porque no puedo más. Mentalmente estoy muy cansado, difícilmente soy funcional, no tengo energía, tengo ansiedad. El hospital tiembla varias veces por la noche porque las bombas son muy fuertes y caen muy cerca del hospital, con lo cual no duermes. Te despiertas unas siete, ocho, diez veces por la noche con cada bomba que cae cerca". De todas formas Raúl Incertis no pierde la esperanza: "Cuando me recupere, si los israelíes me dejan, volveré con energía". Entrevista completa en RNE Audio.Escuchar audio

C dans l'air du 23 juillet 2025 - Famine et destruction à Gaza... Que cherche Israël ? - "Une famine de masse se propage dans la bande de Gaza, nos collègues et les personnes que nous aidons dépérissent", alertent ce mercredi, dans un communiqué, plus d'une centaine d'ONG, dont Médecins sans frontières, Amnesty International ou encore Oxfam International. Elles appellent à un cessez-le-feu immédiat, à l'ouverture de tous les points de passage terrestres et à la libre circulation de l'aide humanitaire dans le territoire palestinien, assiégé et dévasté par plus de vingt et un mois de guerre menée par Israël après l'attaque sans précédent du Hamas sur son sol, le 7 octobre 2023.Le secrétaire général de l'ONU, Antonio Guterres, a également vivement condamné hier "l'horreur" dans la bande de Gaza, où les morts et les destructions ont atteint un niveau "sans équivalent dans l'histoire récente". "La malnutrition explose. La famine frappe à toutes les portes", a-t-il déclaré lors d'une réunion du Conseil de sécurité. Le même jour, le directeur de l'hôpital Al-Chifa, Mohammed Abou Salmiya, a rapporté la mort de 21 enfants de malnutrition en seulement 72 heures. "À chaque instant, de nouveaux cas arrivent", a-t-il averti. À l'hôpital Nasser, dans le sud de la bande de Gaza, des images de l'AFP montrent des parents en larmes devant le corps squelettique de leur fils de 14 ans, mort de faim. L'Agence France-Presse fait également part de son inquiétude pour ses dix journalistes toujours présents sur place. "Ils subissent la famine et peuvent mourir de faim d'un jour à l'autre", alerte la Société des journalistes de l'AFP. D'après Reporters sans frontières (RSF), plus de 200 journalistes ont été tués à Gaza par l'armée israélienne depuis le début du conflit. "Au rythme où les journalistes tombent, il n'y aura bientôt plus personne pour vous informer", prévient RSF.Dans ce contexte, la France hausse le ton. Par la voix de son ministre des Affaires étrangères, Jean-Noël Barrot, elle demande à Israël de laisser entrer les journalistes dans la bande de Gaza et condamne "avec la plus grande fermeté" l'extension des raids. Lundi, Paris, Londres et plus de vingt autres pays ont également appelé à la fin immédiate de la guerre à Gaza et dénoncé le modèle d'acheminement de l'aide humanitaire organisé par Israël.Du côté des États-Unis, l'émissaire spécial Steve Witkoff s'apprête à se rendre au Moyen-Orient. Son objectif : obtenir un nouveau cessez-le-feu et établir un corridor humanitaire sécurisé. Mais les dernières négociations indirectes entre Israël et le Hamas, en vue d'une trêve de 60 jours et de la libération des otages, n'ont pas enregistré de progrès. Malgré l'optimisme affiché par Donald Trump en début de mois, Benyamin Netanyahou semble jouer à fond la carte de l'escalade militaire. Après avoir bombardé des sites nucléaires iraniens en juin et mené dernièrement des frappes en Syrie, l'armée israélienne a lancé une nouvelle offensive à Deir al-Balah, dans le centre de la bande de Gaza — une localité jusqu'ici épargnée, en raison de la présence supposée des 49 otages israéliens détenus par le Hamas.Pour ajouter à la confusion, des divergences de fond semblent apparaître sur l'avenir de la bande de Gaza entre Benyamin Netanyahu et le général Eyal Zamir, le chef d'état-major de Tsahal. Parallèlement, un deuxième parti ultra-orthodoxe vient de quitter le gouvernement israélien, fragilisant un peu plus une coalition gouvernementale de plus en plus divisée.Alors, quelle est la situation dans la bande de Gaza ?

He returned to Gaza in March of this year, arriving just as a fragile ceasefire collapsed. His raw, live reporting from inside emergency departments brought the scale of the increasing devastation to millions worldwide. Since leaving Gaza, Dr Mo has been advocating tirelessly across countries, connecting with international governments, broadcasters and media platforms to protect the children of Gaza. On other episodes such as The Muslim Pound and Owen Jones Podcast you can hear his personal experiences of providing medical care in Gaza, the likes of which it is almost impossible to comprehend let alone be prepared to experience first-hand.

Unpacking Israeli History kicks off a gripping 3-part series on the 1956 Suez Crisis—Israel's most overlooked war. In Part I, Noam Weissman unpacks the roots of this conflict: from Nasser's pan-Arabism and fedayeen attacks to Israel's bold doctrine of “escalation dominance.” But this isn't just a Cold War drama. It's the war that set the stage for the Six-Day War and forged the stormy yet defining alliance between Israel and the United States; a turning point in Israeli and Middle Eastern history that still echoes today. Here is a link to Arabs and Israelis: Conflict and Peacekeeping in the Middle East. Click here for all the sources used in this episode. Please get in touch at noam@unpacked.media.

Latitude Adjustment Podcast is back, after a 20-month hiatus!  As always, you can support our work on Patreon with one click! Where have I been? Well, I'll be piecing that together for you over the next three episodes, but in short, after nearly 12 years of nonstop international travel and work I needed to take a pause and return to the US for about a year and a half, just to have a little more financial and locational stability in my life. During that time I spent a couple of years as a public high school teacher in an underserved community Houston, Texas. Not an experience that I enjoyed, but an experience that got me reconnected to many of the social, economic, and political challenges facing immigrant and minority communities in a state, and a country, that treats them with increasing contempt and hostility. More recently I returned to the West Bank, in June, for the first time since completing my graduate research there in 2008. During my time there I was arrested by Israeli occupation police who then hooded, tortured, and attempted to interrogate me, after I had been filming the march of illegal Israeli settlers through the old town of Hebron. I'll get into that ordeal in more detail in other episodes, but you can also find videos of my arrest as well as an interview that I did on Breaking Points at my new Instagram account @_mad_maddox and at the link in my bio there. ... Dr. Mohammed Mustafa, or Dr. Mo as he's affectionately known, is an English-Australian emergency physician trainee, humanitarian, and former international athlete of Palestinian heritage. Dr. Mo, also known by his social media handle “Beast from the Middle East”, is the first Palestinian to represent the United Kingdom in international rugby, having also won European titles in jiu-jitsu.  Born into a Palestinian refugee family, Dr Mo pursued medical training across Britain and Australia, driven by a profound commitment to human rights and the belief that healthcare is a fundamental right. His upbringing, shaped by resilience and displacement, has fuelled his career at the intersection of frontline healthcare and global humanitarian advocacy. In 2024 and 2025, Dr Mo served in Gaza's Nasser and European hospitals, with RAHMA Worldwide providing critical emergency care amid escalating violence. His commitment to frontline care drew him back to Gaza once again, in March of this year with the Palestinian, Australian, and New Zealand Medical Association team, arriving just as a fragile ceasefire collapsed. His raw, live reporting from inside emergency departments brought the devastation of Israel's unrelenting genocide against the Palestinian people to millions worldwide. In addition to his work as a practicing physician, his current humanitarian efforts are  focused on bringing a new, fully equipped children's hospital to Gaza. For more information about Dr. Mo's work and public advocacy check his Instagram: @beastfromthe_middleeast

The aftermath of the Day of Ashura means we have a lot to reflect on, and a lot to work on. We're joined this week by Sheikh Azhar Nasser of the USA, who guides us on understanding the mission of Imam Hussain (as) through a number of lenses. We review why Karbala does not receive global media attention, how to propagate the message of the Imam, and tackling misconceptions of Karbala - like did the Shia kill Imam Hussain, was Karbala a political tug of war, and much more. Not to be missed!

Onze ans après l'adoption de la nouvelle Constitution égyptienne qui prévoyait son retour sur ses terres ancestrales d'où il avait été chassé il y a plus de soixante ans par la construction du haut barrage d'Assouan, le peuple nubien attend toujours. De notre correspondant de retour d'Assouan, Martin Dumas Primbault C'est jour de mariage dans ce village nubien. Les doufoufs, percussions traditionnelles, résonnent dans toutes les rues. « Il n'y a qu'en Nubie qu'on célèbre les mariages avec les doufoufs, et surtout ici, dans ce village », précise un habitant.  La commune de Dehmit, à 60 kilomètres au nord d'Assouan, fait partie de celles qui ont été construites dans les années 1960 pour reloger les déplacés après l'édification du barrage. Amer Nour, 62 ans, est né ici : « La Nubie a été totalement sacrifiée. Malheureusement, nous n'avons jamais obtenu justice. Regardez, 62 ans après le déplacement, il n'y a toujours pas de système d'assainissement dans les villages de déplacés. C'est pourtant un des droits humains les plus élémentaires ». À lire aussiBarrage d'Assouan: les populations nubiennes réclament le retour à leurs terres Cette histoire douloureuse remonte à 1960 lorsque le président égyptien Gamal Abdel Nasser lance la construction du haut barrage d'Assouan. Le projet pharaonique, inauguré le 15 janvier 1971, est une promesse de développement pour le pays, autant qu'un drame pour les Nubiens. Le lac de rétention engloutit les rives du Nil sur lesquels ils vivaient. Près de 100 000 d'entre eux sont déplacés, pour beaucoup relogés dans des villages artificiels construits en plein désert aux alentours de la ville d'Assouan. Leur destin est alors oublié. Jusqu'en 2014, où la nouvelle Constitution égyptienne, née après le printemps arabe, promet dans son article 236 un droit au retour de ce peuple, sous dix ans, sur ses terres ancestrales, au bord du lac Nasser. Onze ans plus tard, Amer Nour fait part de son amertume. « Cette décision n'a jamais été appliquée, dénonce-t-il. Au contraire, il y a eu un décret présidentiel qui établit une zone militaire de 110 kilomètres depuis la frontière avec le Soudan. Alors qu'on aurait dû obtenir 17 villages dans cette zone. C'est une injustice flagrante ! » En 2017, à Assouan, la dernière manifestation pacifique en date avait été durement réprimée par la police. « Dieu nous préserve, il n'y a pas de minorité en Égypte, selon le gouvernement. Nous sommes tous des citoyens modèles. C'est en tout cas le narratif que le gouvernement essaye d'imposer à la population », explique un activiste qui préfère rester anonyme par peur des représailles. « Les Nubiens sont une minorité. Mais ils disent qu'ils sont égyptiens-nubiens, pas l'inverse. Ils sont très fiers d'être égyptiens, mais en même temps, ils clament leur identité », constate-t-il. Aujourd'hui, entre promesses constitutionnelles oubliées et silence imposé, les Nubiens continuent de résister, dans leur langue, et en chanson.  À lire aussiTerre de rivalités, à quoi ressemblait la Nubie médiévale ?

Dans la bande de Gaza, accéder à la nourriture et à l'aide humanitaire reste une mission quasi impossible. Les distributions d'aide alimentaire, gérées par la Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, une ONG pilotée par Israël et les États-Unis, virent à la tuerie presque quotidienne. Quelques camions d'aide humanitaire sont entrés cette semaine dans l'enclave, mais incapable d'enrayer la menace de famine généralisée qui pèse sur les deux millions de Gazaouis. Depuis le début de l'année, chaque jour, 112 enfants sont admis à l'hôpital pour malnutrition. Une situation dramatique renforcée par une pénurie criante de lait infantile. De nos correspondants à Gaza et à Jérusalem, Derrière la voix du docteur Ahmad Al Farra qui dirige le service pédiatrie et maternité de l'hôpital Nasser de Khan Younès, les images de bébés prématurés en souffrance dans leur incubateur se succèdent. Dans une vidéo sur les réseaux sociaux, le pédiatre a tiré la sonnette d'alarme la semaine dernière sur une situation devenue critique pour ces nouveaux nés, particulièrement à risque.« Comme vous pouvez le voir là, nous avons un bébé prématuré qui dépend complètement intégralement sur une formule de lait artificielle pour les prématurés dont la quantité disponible dans l'hôpital Nasser est proche de zéro. » Et sans entrée rapide et massive de l'aide humanitaire, les conséquences pour ces enfants prématurés sont dramatiques.« Il subira un arrêt de son métabolisme, un déséquilibre électrolytique, il sera dans un état grave, cela peut potentiellement menacer sa vie. » Particulièrement tragique pour les bébés prématurés hospitalisés, cette pénurie frappe toute l'enclave où survit un million d'enfants Sous une tente à Gaza City, Thareefa Bassal 32 ans, essaie de calmer sa fille Qasar, un an. « Il y a une semaine, j'ai réussi à lui trouver du lait en poudre pour 23 euros. Mais maintenant, c'est terminé, je ne peux plus me le permettre. » À lire aussiBande de Gaza: l'enfer de 1,1 million d'enfants pris au piège entre guerre et malnutrition Rien ne compense le manque de lait Incapable de s'offrir du lait comme tant d'autres, Thareefa cherche tant bien que mal des solutions. « J'essaie de remplacer cela avec des suppléments alimentaires, mais ce n'est pas suffisant. Je pense aussi à acheter plus de conserves de fruits ou de légumes fondus. Mais rien de tout cela ne compense le manque de lait. Ses os sont en train de se former, ils ont besoin de lait en poudre, elle a besoin du calcium et de tout ça. » Et l'absence de nutriment adapté se fait sentir sur la santé de Qasar : « Elle a maintenant un an et il est temps pour elle de commencer à marcher et à faire ses dents. Mais je ne sais absolument plus quoi faire pour l'aider à se nourrir correctement. Pendant 14 ans, je n'ai pas réussi à tomber enceinte et maintenant qu'elle est née, je ne peux pas lui assurer certaines choses essentielles. Certains documents à l'hôpital indiquaient qu'elle souffrait de malnutrition sévère, sa température est élevée et elle tousse énormément. Elle est très malade. » En mai, selon l'Unicef, plus de 5 000 enfants entre six mois et cinq ans ont été admis à l'hôpital pour malnutrition aiguë.

  Jim recently attended a mini JFK conference in San Francisco with notables like Peter Dale Scott, Bill Simpich, etc.. Jim spoke about JFK and his policies regarding the Middle East at the well exclusive JFK mini conference. What is currently happening in the Middle East is very relevant. JFK assassination research continues to be VERY relevant. Jim feels Nasser has been the most influential Arab leader in the Middle East during the 20th century, perhaps ever. Nasser was not an Islamic fundamentalist, he was a Socialist. Nasser was not a monarchist he was a Pan-Arabist. Saudi Arabia did not like Nasser. Nasser believed all of the oil in the Middle East belonged to all of the Arabs. Nasser wanted funds from the oil bearing nations to create highways, schools, hospitals & development of the Middle East. Nasser felt that all of the countries in the middle east should be in a confederation, protecting their joint interests. Saudi Arabia was a monarchist country and Islamic state, inevitably the royalist families would come to blows with Nasser. For a short time Syria was united with Egypt, known as the United Arab Republic. There was a war of succession in 1963 in Yemen that Nasser got involved in. Followers of Nasser in Yemen faced off with the royalist family. Saudi Arabia backed the royalist family to weaken Nasser. Israel very much feared Nasser, believing he was the one Arab leader who could unify the Middle East against Israel. Israel tried twice to destabilize Nasser, in 1954 with the Lavon Affair & in 1956 with the Suez crisis. The Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic troops for Saudi Arabia tried to assassinate Nasser twice, once in 1954 and 1965. A perceptive Kennedy saw Nasser as opposition to the medieval Saudi Arabia and a balancing point to Israel. When questioned about he feelings regarding JFK, Sirhan expressed deep respect, as JFK was standing up for Palestine. Sirhan loved JFK. He admired that JFK was putting pressure on Israel to let the Palestinian people to return to their homes. JFK promised Arab leaders he would do his best to make Israel comply with the 1948 United Nations resolution. All of JFK's efforts for peace in the Middle East ended with his assassination. The 1948 UN resolution has been ignored. How did JFK's influence in the Middle East effect the Arab people? What were JFK's goals? JFK and Nasser started a long letter writing campaign to each other that lasted until JFK was murdered. Gamal Abdel Nasser, 2nd President of Egypt, died unexpectedly Sept 28, 1970 at only 52 years of age. Kennedy had felt that John Foster Dulles had made a big mistake turning on Nasser and supporting Saudi Arabia. When Kennedy was murdered, Nasser couldn't sleep Nasser ordered JFK's funeral to be aired 3 times as he fell into a depression. Did Nasser understand that JFK's assassination was the beginning of the end? When Nasser died, 6 million people poured into Cairo to watch Nasser's funeral. Watch Video Here 46 people were killed and 80 injured in the stampede of people. RFK wanted the American Zionist Council to register as an Foreign lobby. Nicholas Kazenbach, after JFK's death & RFK resigned, ended enforcement against the AZC. Now look where we're at. Johnson gave the AZC tax break backdated back to 1956. This became the creation of AIPAC. The conflict in the Middle East and Israel was Atomic weapons. Atomic weapons is the cause of the current situation with Iran!  

Brad Pitt is in the driving seat for the latest action spectacle from US director Joseph Kosinski, with a performance that even got the thumbs up from F1 champion Lewis Hamilton. Film critic Emma Jones tells us why the big-budget movie won her over despite some flaws in the storyline and frequent sightings of F1 sponsors. We also discuss the Nasser brothers' latest surreal comedy Western, "Once Upon a Time in Gaza", as the award-winning Palestinian directors return to a quieter time in their home region, via a tale of sandwich-making and illicit substances. Plus we check out British filmmaker Danny Boyle's long-awaited horror "28 Years Later" and reflect upon the film's socio-political relevance in a post-Covid, post-Brexit landscape.

In RTB 151, you heard the Kristin, Nasser and John discussing what might happen before their Northeastern Victorian Studies Association conference actually took place. This episode, recorded a few weeks later, looks back at what actually occurred and see how it aligned with or defied the panelists' prior expectations. The three discuss what it means to have an emergent and residual shticks; differences between how you prepare to talk to undergraduates and your peers matter, and the three agree that going in without any expectations of your audience makes for a weaker presentation. Imaginary interlocution makes for better pre-gaming. Kristin Mahoney 's books include Literature and the Politics of Post-Victorian Decadence (Cambridge UP, 2015) and Queer Kinship After Wilde: Transnational Decadence and the Family. Nasser Mufti 's first scholarly book was Civilizing War and he is currently working on a monograph about what Britain's nineteenth century looks like from the perspective of such anti-colonial thinkers as C.L.R. James and Eric Williams. (RTB listeners don't need to hear about John or his Arendt obsession). Learn more about your ad choices.

Most scholars are both haunted, even undone, by the task of writing papers for peers and traveling to strange campuses to deliver them. Yet we keep it up--we inflict it on our peers, we inflict it on ourselves. Why? To answer that question, Recall This Book assembled three (if you count John) scholars of Victorian literature asked to speak at the Spring 2025 Northeastern Victorian Studies Association conference. Their discussion began with the idea that agreeing to give papers is an act of “externalized self-promising” and ranged across the reasons that floating ideas before our peers is terrifying, exhilarating and ultimately necessary.

Health officials in Gaza say at least 27 people have been killed near one of the controversial new aid distribution centres - the third reported incident in three days. The Israeli military says they fired 'warning shots'; medics say they are dealing with a range of injuries. Also on the programme: the mother of a political prisoner still being held in an Egyptian prison eight months after his sentence ended tells us why she's on hunger strike in protest; and South Koreans have been choosing their next president after former President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment over his failed martial law bid. (Photo: A mourner reacts during the funeral of Palestinians killed, in what the Gaza health ministry say was Israeli fire near a distribution site in Rafah, at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, June 3, 2025.

The Israeli military says it's to investigate the reported killing on Tuesday of 27 Palestinians near a US-backed aid distribution centre in Gaza. A government spokesman David Mencer earlier denied that Israeli forces had targeted civilians. Israel has also denied shooting Palestinians at the same site on Sunday. We speak to an advisor to the Israeli Prime Minister, Benyamin Netanyahu.Also in the programme: The opposition candidate in South Korea's presidential election celebrates a landslide win; and an award-winning writer on artificial intelligence urges scientists to contemplate a time when humans will no longer be the smartest ones on the planet.(Photo: Mourners react at the funeral of Palestinians killed, in what the Gaza Health Ministry says was Israeli fire near a distribution site in Rafah, at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, June 3, 2025.

A Palestinian doctor was at work in Nasser hospital in Khan Younis when nine of her ten children were killed and her husband wounded by an Israeli airstrike. It is the latest tragedy as Israel's military campaign continues to place a huge toll on the civilian population. The Israeli military says “the claim regarding harm to uninvolved civilians is under review”. We hear from a Bulgarian doctor who is working at the hospital.Also in the programme: The dissident Iranian director Jafar Panahi has won the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival for "It Was Just an Accident" -- a movie shot in secret and inspired by his own experience in prison; and Five years after American author Jenine Cummins was vilified for her novel American Dirt, she tells us why she wrote her new book.(Picture: Civil defence teams carry a body after the strike in Khan Younis.
