CGTN
29:12

More than 5,200 people have been killed so far in the conflict between Palestine and Israel which began October 7. Meanwhile, Egypt has announced it will open the Rafah border crossing to allow limited humanitarian aid to enter the besieged Gaza Strip. What's behind the latest fighting? How likely could the current conflict escalate into a regional war? And after the U.S. vetoed the UN's call for a humanitarian pause, how to prevent a growing humanitarian crisis in the territory? In this episode, guests are Peter Kuznick, professor of History at American University; Wang Jin, associate professor at Northwest University of China; and Noor Harazeen, our correspondent in Palestine.
