Israel/Gaza ceasefire, and whether it will stick w/ the University of Auckland's Ritesh Shah: 15 October, 2025

Following on from my chat with MP Ricardo Menendez March, News and Editorial Director Joel spoke with Ritesh Shah, a Senior Lecturer in Critical Studies and Education and the Co-Director of the Centre for Asia Pacific Refugee Studies at the University of Auckland, about the most recent ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel.

This comes following reports of Israeli soldiers having shot and killed nine Palestinians returning to their homes following the ceasefire.

US President, Donald Trump, has warned that if Hamas do not disarm, the US will “disarm them”.

Joel spoke to Shah about this topic and whether this ceasefire will stick.
