Mosab Abu Toha is a Palestinian writer, poet, scholar, and founder of Gaza's first English language library, the Edward Said Library. His debut poetry collection won both the Palestine Book Award and the American Book Award. In 2025, he received the Pulitzer Prize for his reporting and writing on Gaza in The New Yorker.

In today's episode, Mosab joins me to share what life has been like since leaving Gaza after being detained by the Israeli military while trying to flee with his family. He explains how he continues documenting the realities on the ground while living with the pain of losing more than 100 relatives during the war.

Mosab explains what daily life inside Gaza looks like today and the devastating impact these living conditions have on children, the elderly, and the wounded.

We discuss the importance of documenting these events, how social media has shaped global awareness of the conflict, and why younger generations are seeing a different reality from previous generations.

Our conversation also covers the importance of preserving Palestinian stories, the need for accountability, how public opinion is shifting around the world, and what individuals and political leaders can do to help bring about meaningful change.

Join us today as we discuss the realities inside Gaza, the humanitarian crisis, the power of firsthand storytelling, the changing conversation around Palestine, how we can all help bring about justice, and much more.
