In this episode of Palestine This Week, we begin with the IPC’s declaration of famine in parts of Gaza—only the fifth time in history such a designation has been made. We examine how Israel has sought to discredit the finding while continuing to block aid and target food infrastructure. The episode also covers leaked Israeli military data showing that 83 per cent of those killed in Gaza are civilians, the assassination of journalists in Nasser Hospital, and disturbing reports of ...
In this episode of Palestine This Week, host Nasim Ahmed and analyst Mouin Rabbani examine Benjamin Netanyahu’s call for a “Greater Israel” and the role of Christian Zionism in sustaining Israel’s project of dispossession and genocide. The conversation unpacks how end-times theology and religious fanaticism, from Balfour to present-day judges at the International Court of Justice, have shaped Israel’s founding and continue to corrupt international law. The episode also exposes how reli...
In this episode of Palestine This Week, we begin with Benjamin Netanyahu plan to “take control” of Gaza, We also discuss the killing of five Al Jazeera journalists, including Anas al-Sharif, in a drone strike outside al-Shifa Hospital. More than 270 journalists have been killed since the war began, more than in several major wars combined. We go through the new report by Doctors Without Borders, “This Is Not Aid, This Is Orchestrated Killing”, which shows how the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation...
This episode of Palestine This Week begins with Hamas’s latest statement that it will not disarm unless a Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital. The response came after claims that Hamas had agreed to disarm unconditionally. From there, we take a closer look at Hamas’s position on the two-state solution and how it has changed over time. We also explore the broader history of the two-state proposal—asking the crucial question: who has really rejected it? Has it been Ha...
Palestine This Week begins with the grim announcement from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC): famine is now officially under way in Gaza. As the UN body confirms the worst-case scenario, we examine Israel’s shifting narrative including placing blame on the UN. We also explore how international backlash is shaping Israel’s starvation policy, with expert insight from Alex de Waal on the unprecedented nature of what’s unfolding in Gaza. Next, we unpack B’Tselem’s latest rep...
In this episode of Palestine This Week, we look at Israel’s recent attack on Gaza’s only Catholic church, the same one the late Pope Francis was calling daily since the start of Israel’s genocide. Three people were killed in the strike, which many have condemned, but questions remain about why the world stayed silent when over a thousand mosques were destroyed before this. We also cover a settler arson attack on a historic Christian town and examine how Israel’s campaign is targeting Palestin...
In this week’s episode of Palestine This Week, we begin with the so-called “Humanitarian City”, which is now clearly emerging as a strategy to build concentration camps in Israel’s plan to ethnic cleansing Gaza. We examine how Israel is enforcing depopulation zones through forced starvation and lethal drone attacks. Drawing on chilling investigations by +972 Magazine and Forensic Architecture, we break down the mechanics of how genocide is being operationalised in plain sight. We then shift ...
In this episode of Palestine This Week, we unpack Israel’s latest scheme for Gaza: a so-called “humanitarian city” that critics say is a cover for mass internment and forced transfer. Far from offering safety, the plan is seen as part of Israel’s long-standing effort to remove Palestinians from their land. We examine explosive revelations about the involvement of the Boston Consulting Group and staff linked to the Tony Blair Institute, alongside legal analysis from Professor Eyal Benvenisti, ...
Palestine This Week opens with a close look at Gaza, where talk of a ceasefire deal is gaining traction. Reports suggest that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will soon travel to Washington to finalise an agreement. But behind the diplomatic theatre lies a deeper concern: has anything really changed on the ground? As Israeli attacks continue, the episode asks what purpose this ceasefire would serve—and for whom. The discussion moves to the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Sinc...
As the dramatic ceasefire places a temporary pause to the latest hostilities between Israel and Iran, we break down how and why this fragile agreement came together, what each side hoped to gain, and who ultimately walked away with the upper hand. President Donald Trump’s intervention has exposed deep divisions within US policy circles. “America Firsters” clashed with “Israeli Firsters”—and once again, the “Israeli Firsters” prevailed, drawing the US into yet another conflict. But at w...
On this episode of Palestine This Week, we dive into the rapidly escalating war between Israel and Iran. Mouin Rabbani joins Nasim Ahmed to unpack the timing, motives, and wider implications of Israel’s unprovoked strike, launched even as Iranian officials were engaged in negotiations with the US. Meanwhile in Gaza, another mass casualty event unfolded as starving civilians were killed while queuing for food. We examine Israel’s stated justification for the attack: an IAEA report claiming Ira...
This week’s episode opens with the news of sanctions imposed by the UK on Israel’s far-right ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich. The UK joined a small bloc of Western states attempting to pressure Israel over its Gaza genocide. But does targeting two of the most extreme figures in the government of Benjamin Netanyahu signal genuine attempt to hold Israel to account, or is it diplomatic window dressing by governments that criminalises the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) move...
This week’s show opens with a discussion on “Israel’s dystopian aid trap,” as Nasim Ahmed and Mouin Rabbani examine the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation—an initiative critics say is less about aid and more about engineering chaos, displacement, and colonial domination. The episode highlights the recent killing of over 30 Palestinians near an aid distribution site in Rafah and growing evidence that Israeli-backed criminal gangs, not Hamas, are looting aid. The conversation then shifts to th...
Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbani is your uncompromising weekly deep dive into the brutality of Israeli occupation and the political theatre that attempts to mask it all. As Western governments scramble to whitewash their role and clean their blood-soaked hands, this show strips away the spin to reveal the uncomfortable truth: there is no way to run a successful PR campaign for genocide. This week, we break down the diplomatic posturing behind the latest ceasefire negotiations, fronted ...
The situation in Gaza is beyond anything we can imagine. There was a chilling warning issued by the UN emergency relief chief today of 14,000 babies dying in the next 48 hours unless aid reaches them. Ceasefire talks in Doha have stalled in Doha because of because of “fundamental differences,” that’s according to Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al-Thani. Israel’s latest military offensive is undermining talks said Al-Thani.
As global outrage over Israel’s genocide in Gaza intensifies, this week’s episode of Palestine This Week explores a pivotal shift in regional politics: Is Israel’s strategic value to its Western allies diminishing? President Donald Trump’s latest Middle East tour has sparked speculation that Washington is preparing for a post-Israel regional order. With major powers recalibrating their approach, signs are emerging that Israel is no longer the untouchable ally it once was. Host Nasim Ahmed is...
Israel’s new offensive in Gaza, legal showdowns at the ICJ, and drone strikes in international waters — this week’s MEMO Review returns with a powerful analysis of the region’s biggest developments. Host Nasim Ahmed is joined by analyst Mouin Rabbani to unpack the collapse of the ceasefire and Israel’s latest assault on Gaza, which includes carving the Strip into isolated zones and placing humanitarian aid under the control of private US security contractors. The pair examine whether these ne...
The Israeli supreme court has given the government the right to ignore International law and starve Gaza. This week on the MEMO Review, host Nasim Ahmed is joined by Mouin Rabbani to unpack a week of major developments from across the region. At the centre of the discussion is the Israeli Supreme Court’s shocking decision that it has no obligation to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza—a ruling that stands in stark contrast to the ICJ’s landmark 2024 ruling declaring Israel’s occupation ...
In the early hours of 18 March, Israel returned to bombing Gaza, killing more than 400 Palestinians - the vast majority women and children - in what has become the deadliest day in its genocide so far. What are its intentions? Who are its targets? And why has the world remained silent? This episode of Palestine This Week opens with a sobering reflection on the grim milestone of over 50,000 Palestinians killed by Israel. The week saw yet another massive assault, as Israeli forces sha...
Israel has used sexual and reproductive violence in Gaza as a weapon of war in what the UN has declared is a 'genocidal act', how will the international community react to the latest damning reports of Tel Aviv's abuse of Palestinians? Will action finally be taken to hold Israel to account. This episode was recorded before Israel launched its intensified bombing campaign in Gaza on Tuesday, killing over 400 Palestinians. This week, we begin our analysis by looking into one of t...
