In our last five-minute scroll for the year, Peter Slezak speaks up at a Gaza rally, while Canadian politician Pierre Poilievre speaks up for Israel bombing Iran. Human Rights Watch has found that Israel has inflicted conditions of life in Gaza calculated to destroy the Palestinian population in Gaza and we give the last word of the year to Francesca Albanese.
