As the world watched to see who would be crowned America's 47th president of the US, Israel announced that Palestinians who had been forced to leave northern Gaza would not be allowed to return. A new Nakba is unfolding in Gaza, but will the new president help smooth Israel's path to annex more Palestinian land? 

This episode of Palestine This Week opens with a stark analysis of the emerging humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where Palestinians face 'a second Nakba' following Israel’s announcement last week that it will not allow residents to return to northern Gaza. Host Nasim Ahmed and regular guest Mouin Rabbani discuss how this crucial story has been overshadowed by US election coverage, while offering insights into the systematic challenges facing Gaza's civilian population.
Reports of organised looting of aid trucks in Gaza, occurring in areas controlled by the Israeli occupation army are also discussed. This segment provides a detailed examination of the humanitarian aid crisis and its implications for Gaza's besieged population.

As a Dutch Palestinian, Rabbani offers his thoughts on last week’s riots in Amsterdam and the fall-out from the mainstream media’s false coverage.
The show also covers major political upheaval in Israel, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's dramatic dismissal of Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, and Qatar's withdrawal from its mediator role in truce negotiations. The discussion features an in-depth analysis of the recent Arab-Islamic summit in Riyadh, where Saudi oficials made several powerful statements regarding the Palestinian cause, and called Israel’s campaign in norther Gaza a genocide against the Palestinian people.

The review examines Netanyahu's appointment of Yechiel Leiter as Israel's ambassador to the US - a former member of a US-designated terrorist group - and its diplomatic implications. The episode concludes with an examination of the impact of Gaza genocide on US elections and takes a look into what US policy in the Middle East under Donald Trump's second term would look like.
