TLDRIn der letzten Folge des Podcasts "The Gaza Chef" wird die 18-monatige Untersuchung des Todes von Mahmud fortgesetzt. Seine Familie in Gaza berichtet von Unsicherheit und der ständigen Angst vor erneutem Krieg. Einzig eine Person widerspricht ihrer Erklärung zum Tod Mahmuds. Kurz vor Ende meldet sich die israelische Armee und liefert neue, unerwartete Informationen.

InhaltAfter 18 months of investigating the question still stands: Why did Mahmud die? For every theory, there is one thing that doesn’t fit. But then the IDF gets in touch In this final episode, we speak with Mahmud’s family, who still live in the Gaza Strip. They tell us about the chaos and uncertainty of their lives. A ceasefire is now formally in place, but everyone is aware that the war might return. We talk to the one person who disagrees with the family‘s explanation for Mahmud‘s death. And then, at the last minute, the Israeli Army gets in touch – and has something entirely new to say.
