Traumatic vision has emerged showing the aftermath of recent Israeli airstrikes on a makeshift tent city in Rafah, in the south of Gaza, that reportedly killed 45 people, with 249 others wounded.
Aid groups have said the Israeli Defence Force had designated the area a humanitarian safe zone before launching the attack – although Israel denies this.
The International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to “immediately halt its military offensive” in Rafah, but in ambiguous terms, which the Israeli Government has interpreted to mean its Rafah offensive can continue.
Meanwhile, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has applied for arrest warrants for Netanyahu, the Israeli defence minister, and three Hamas leaders for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
In this episode, Bension Siebert speaks with international law expert, Juliette McIntyre, and Frankie Leach, spokesperson for humanitarian organisation ActionAid.

Late last week, China launched a comprehensive two-day military drill around Taiwan, mimicking a full-scale attack. The drills included dozens of fighter jets carrying live missiles, alongside navy vessels stationed at strategic locations around the island.
The military operations have been viewed as retaliation to Taiwan's newly elected president, Lai Ching-te, who in his recent inauguration speech reinforced the island's independence from China.
So how much has changed in the tensions between Taiwan and China over the last few months? And what does this mean for Australia?
In this episode, Bension Siebert unpacks the situation with Dr Roger Lee Huang, an expert in Southeast Asian politics and international relations at Macquarie University.

It’s become one of the world’s biggest online shopping marketplaces, churning out more than a million parcels to be flown to customers around the globe every day.
Here in Australia, more than 1.2 million of us shop on Temu every month – and it’s our most downloaded app.
But how did the Chinese start-up skyrocket to global online megastore - selling everything from clothing and household items - less than two years after launching?
Dr Shasha Wang from QUT joins Sacha Barbour Gatt to explain Temu’s unique recipe for success in commerce and its meteoric rise.
A Temu spokesperson says:
Claims that Temu's competitive pricing is achieved through exploitative labour
practices are unfounded. We urge a closer examination of our approach, which
hinges on removing unnecessary expenses. Our cost-efficiency is due to a direct
connection between consumers and manufacturers, cutting out middlemen and their
markups. Our model also streamlines the logistics of production and distribution,
allowing us to offer lower prices to our customers.
Many merchants on Temu are reputable manufacturers with advanced production
facilities, supplying to well-known US brands and retailers like Amazon, Walmart,
and Target. These manufacturers adhere to high industry standards and are
recognised for their quality production.
Temu is dedicated to upholding ethical labour practices. Our Third-Party Code of
Conduct forbids any form of forced, child, or penal labour and requires adherence to
all local labour laws, including those related to wages, working hours, voluntary
employment, freedom of association, and the right to collective bargaining. We
demand strict compliance with all regulatory standards and reserve the right to
sever ties with any business that breaches our Code of Conduct or the law.
As for the concern about forced labour in product compliance, we take this issue
seriously. Our standards and practices align with those of major U.S. e-commerce
platforms, such as Amazon, eBay, and Etsy, rendering any allegations completely
ungrounded.Follow The Briefing:

Amid a cost of living crisis, who can resist the invitation to “shop like a billionaire” at bargain-basement prices?
Online juggernaut Temu is Australia’s most popular free app, offering a vast vortex of low-cost merchandise from fashion and homeware to toys and electronics.
But amid the thrilling rush of retail therapy lie some serious questions: Where does this stuff come from? What are conditions like for those at the bottom of the supply chain? And what about the environment?
On this episode of The Briefing Sacha talks to Sarah Rogan, senior labour rights campaigner at Oxfam.
