'If You Can Keep It': The War In Gaza, One Year Later

By NPR

Hamas fighters killed over 1,200 people in southern Israel on October 7, 2023. In response, the Israeli government launched airstrikes and a ground invasion in Gaza, killing almost 42,000 people so far according to Palestinian health authorities.

Despite repeated attempts, the United States has failed to broker a ceasefire – in both Gaza and now at Israel's northern border as its military targets the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Typically, each week leading up to Nov. 5, we focus on the stakes of this election, for people, our country, and our democracy.

Today's episode of "If You Can Keep It" takes a look at the stakes of the U.S. election for the people of a Middle East in conflict.
