On this edition of Voices of the Middle East and North Africa, Khalil Bendib speaks with international lawyer, activist and former PLO negotiator Diana Buttu about the state of the Palestinian cause at a time when an international conspiracy by colonialist and neocolonialist regimes worldwide is frantically busy rolling back a cause that has become an international rallying cry for struggles against injustice everywhere, whether the BLM movement, democracy movements in Middle East and North Africa regions or any liberation and fights against oppression and inequality in the world.
