Manage episode 453485063 series 3551017

The staggering economic impact of the genocide is also brought into focus, with Israeli experts estimating Gaza's reconstruction costs to stand at $100-200 billion - up to 1150% of the entire Palestinian economy. Meanwhile, concerning legislative developments in Israel threaten to further restrict Palestinian citizens' political participation in local elections.
