The Ordinary Elite is a Scottish podcast brought to you from Glasgow by John McGovern and Mike Dailly. Both are Solicitor Advocates - John a criminal defence lawyer and Mike a civil litigation practitioner and social justice campaigner. In our 7th episode of Season 4, we talk to Sharif Abdel Kouddous, a journalist and Middle East editor at Drop Site News. The United Nations has today warned that time is running out for Gaza as it faces a full-scale famine. The State of Israel is pursuing a deliberate policy of mass starvation in Gaza. Aid blockades by Israel are illegal under international law. Will the genocide, mass starvation and war crimes end? Meanwhile Prime Minister Starmer has announced today that the UK will follow France and recognise Palestine as a state at the UN General Assembly in September.
