In this episode we unpacks a series of explosive new reports exposing the full scale of Israel’s assault on Gaza. We examine a groundbreaking study estimating more than 112,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza, Amnesty International’s warning that the so-called ceasefire is creating a “dangerous illusion” while genocide continues at a slower pace, and UN findings that 69 years of development have been erased alongside credible evidence of a state policy of widespread torture.

We also break down revelations that Israel backed looters of aid convoys, Mahmoud Abbas’s move to change election laws to effectively ban opposition, and new footage of Israeli forces executing surrendered Palestinians in the West Bank. Plus, we explore how the narrative of Jewish refugees from Arab countries is weaponised today, and revisit Jeffrey Epstein’s role in efforts to silence critics of the Israel lobby. Tune in for essential analysis cutting through propaganda and exposing the realities on the ground.

In this episode of Palestine This Week, with Mouin Rabbani, we unpack the latest developments in Gaza and beyond. We examine the shutdown of the US-Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation as American military contractors ramp up recruitment for new deployment. We dissect the UN’s endorsement of Trump’s Gaza plan and what it means for Palestine.

We also cover a major Human Rights Watch report on mass displacement in the West Bank, Netanyahu’s electoral crackdown on Arab parties, and a scandal involving a French ICC judge targeted by US sanctions. Plus: a US ambassador meets a convicted Israeli spy, and Israel strikes Beirut in violation of a ceasefire.

In this episode of Palestine This Week, Gaza-born analyst and human rights advocate Muhammad Shehada joins us to unpack the UN Security Council's endorsement of a US-backed resolution modelled on President Donald Trump's so-called "Peace Plan"—one that envisions international forces in Gaza and a conditional path to Palestinian statehood.

We also examine:
The shocking new report by Physicians for Human Rights Israel: 98 Palestinians have died in Israeli custody since 7 October.
Racist roots of the rape of Palestinian detainees.
A shadowy Israeli-Estonian operation smuggling Palestinians from Gaza.
Escalating settler violence and open arson attacks in the occupied West Bank.
The US-Israel alliance: a potential 20-year military agreement, and Saudi normalisation via arms deals.

In this episode of Palestine This Week we break down the shocking confessions from Israeli soldiers detailing atrocities committed in Gaza, while Washington looks the other way. We discuss how US intelligence knew Israel’s atrocities could amount to war crimes  and chose to remain silence. Meanwhile, Big Tech platforms are erasing digital evidence, censoring Palestinian voices, and rewriting the record in real time.

From the disappearance of over 11,000 Palestinians, to new laws targeting Palestinians for execution, to a coordinated campaign to manipulate AI, social media, and mainstream news — this episode exposes how a global cover-up is unfolding before our eyes.

In this episode of Palestine This Week, we unpack the West’s blind faith in Israel, a belief so entrenched it overrides law, morality, and truth itself. 

From The Washington Post’s exposé on how the US shields Israel from accountability to the horrific Sde Teiman prison scandal, Sudan’s genocide, and drones tested on Palestinians now policing American streets — we trace the web of complicity that sustains a global system of impunity. 

As Western leaders cling to comforting delusions, we ask: what happens when devotion to Israel becomes an article of faith?

In this week’s episode of Palestine This Week, host Nasim Ahmed and Mouin Rabbani unpack Israel’s deepening defiance of international law,  from violations of the ceasefire in Gaza to the surge in settler terrorism across the West Bank. We examine how Israel has constructed an “alternative universe” of lawlessness and impunity.

We also discuss the ICJ’s ruling against Isarel reaffirming UNRWA’s mandate, the US media’s PR work for Israel, the cover-up of Shireen Abu Akleh’s killing. As the world watches, Israel continues to pull others into its own sphere of impunity — where lawlessness thrives and impunity for war crimes is no existent.

In this episode of Palestine This Week, we look at Israel’s ongoing violations of the Gaza ceasefire, with more than 80 breaches and dozens of Palestinians killed. We break down the events in Rafah and the shifting US position, as Washington moves to provide legal and political cover for continued Israeli attacks.

We also examine growing fears of internal conflict in Gaza, the proposed Egypt-led stabilisation force, and the expected ICJ ruling on Israel’s blockade of UN agencies. A new UN report documents rising killings in the West Bank, while across Europe, Palestine solidarity is being criminalised—from arrests in the UK to protest bans in Germany and the row over Maccabi Tel Aviv’s football match.

This episode of Palestine This Week begins with the ceasefire agreement signed in Egypt. We analyse the political spectacle surrounding the signing. We discuss President Trump’s speech in the Israeli Knesset and his public admission of the influence of the Zionist lobby in American politics. 

The episode also covers the murder of Saleh Aljafarawi by Israeli-backed armed gangs, the media’s double standards in the coverage of the hostage deal and Israel’s high-tech propaganda war.

Two years into Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza, nearly 70,000 Palestinians are dead, most of them civilians. Despite the unprecedented destruction, Israel has failed to defeat Hamas or secure the release of hostages — the very goals it claimed justified its campaign. As negotiations take place in Cairo, this episode asks: why has Israel’s war dragged on, and what has it really achieved?

From crumbling international support to cracks within Zionism itself, we explore how the pillars on which Israel stands — military dominance, global backing, media control — are now visibly crumbling. Plus: a leaked plan for Gaza’s post-war governance, Israel’s $7K-a-post media war, and rising tensions between Israel and Jews around the world.

11:49 Has Israel crushed resistance — or destroyed itself?

19:23 Ceasefire deal? Or more proof Netanyahu never cared about hostages?

33:00 Leaked: Gaza to be run by billionaires, not Palestinians.

37:23 Israel’s media war — $7K per post to sell genocide.

46:58 Tensions explode: Israel embraces the far right.

53:30 Is Israel making life more dangerous for Jews everywhere?

In this episode, we dive into Donald Trump’s so-called Gaza “Peace Plan,” a proposal that, beneath the surface, looks less like a path to peace and more like a high-tech experiment in subjugation. Gaza has long been treated as a testing ground, from weapons that are later marketed as “battle-tested” to political experiments imposed from the outside. Now, with Trump’s plan and the Jared Kushner-Tony Blair blueprint, the stage is being set for something even more far-reaching: a model of technological domination that could extend well beyond Palestine.

We trace the history of peace plans imposed on Palestinians, showing how they’ve consistently denied justice, demanded impossible concessions, and then blamed Palestinians for rejecting them. Today’s plan is no different, but it comes at a moment when Israel’s global standing has collapsed, its genocide in Gaza has turned it into a pariah, and Washington is scrambling to provide an off-ramp. Far from offering freedom, the plan masks economic fantasies, colonial governance, and a vision of Gaza not as a society to rebuild but as beachfront real estate to redevelop.
