In this episode of Palestine This Week, Nasim Ahmed and guest Mouin Rabbani kick off with a startling report from the Lancet which forecasts that the death toll in Gaza could hit 186,000 - a staggering 7.9% of the population. The pair also look at claims that Israel is trying to derail a US-backed ceasefire plan and discuss the contentious 'Hannibal directive' used by the Israeli army on 7 October.
Nasim and Mouin then turn their attention to Israel's plans for Gaza after the war, including the experimental 'Hamas-free bubbles' scheme, and what's been called the biggest land grab in the West Bank for decades. They mull over how these developments might affect the chances of a future Palestinian state and shake up the region's political landscape.
The show also touches on recent diplomatic spats, like the ICC prosecutor's decision to issue arrest warrants over a Gaza visit, which has ruffled feathers in both the US and UK. They round off by discussing the Arab League's move to stop calling Hezbollah a terrorist organisation and how the UK Labour Party's position on Gaza might have swayed recent election results.
This episode offers a thorough and eye-opening look at the complex and ever-changing situation in the Middle East.
