How do Israelis and Palestinians in South Africa view the war in Gaza?
"My cousin and his wife and three children - all of them have died. Only one of them survived and a week later, he was dead also."
In today's episode, Alan Kasujja sits down with Michayla Moss who is American-Israeli and Iyad Abu Kalusa, a Palestinian from Gaza.
Both of them currently live in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The conflict started on the 7th of October 2023, when Palestinian group Hamas and other armed factions attacked Israel, killing about 1,300 people - mostly civilians - and taking 240 hostages.
Israel subsequently retaliated, killing more than 27,000 Palestinians, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry.
South Africa then asked the international Court of Justice (ICJ) to consider whether Israel was committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
So what's it like to watch a war unfold in your homeland from thousands of kilometres away?
