Brief: Israel continues to strike Gaza. Israeli attacks across Lebanon despite ceasefire

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on January 22, 2025. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed.

Expansions of illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank are proceeding at a record pace, and in the US town of Teaneck, New Jersey, some residents are organizing to fight real estate sales to American Jews. It’s sparked accusations of antisemitism and ratcheted up tension in the small community. What’s next for Teaneck?

In this episode: 
Rich Siegel, Teaneck Resident

Episode credits:

This episode was updated by Sonia Bhagat. The original production team was Marcos Bartolomé, Duha Mossad, Hagir Saleh, Cole van Miltenburg and our host, Kevin Hirten. It was edited by Sarí El-Khalili.

Another Take: Why is land in the West Bank being sold off to US citizens?

It’s been four years since Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by Israeli forces. In those years, her family has pushed the United States government for one thing: an independent investigation into her killing that leads to real accountability. The Take looks into the push for justice in the US, and why it's been so difficult to achieve.  

This is a story from the archives. This originally aired on September 5, 2022. None of the dates, titles or other references from that time have been changed.

Lina Abu Akleh (@LinaAbuAkleh), Niece of Shireen Abu Akleh
Katherine Gallagher, Human Rights Attorney, Center for Constitutional Rights
Said Arikat (@SMArikat), Journalist
