About this episode

This episode discusses the implications of the ceasefire deal in Gaza and the ongoing occupation and violence against Palestinians.

Last October, the Trump administration announced a ceasefire deal in Gaza after two years of relentless carnage. Since the deal was announced, Israel has continued to occupy much of Gaza, and its forces have killed hundreds of Palestinian civilians. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has launched his so-called Board of Peace to administer Gaza without any input from Palestinians. Having received a blank check for his scheme from the UN Security Council, Trump now presents the Board of Peace as an alternative to the UN itself. In this collaborative episode of Rethinking Palestine, Al-Shabaka Co-Director Yara Hawari joins Jacobin's Long Reads for an update on conditions in Gaza and the wider international context. Long Reads is a Jacobin podcast, hosted by features editor Daniel Finn, looking in-depth at political topics and thinkers, both contemporary and historical, with the magazine's longform writers.
