Description

The UN Security Council has passed a resolution backing US President Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza. It authorises an "international stabilisation force", and approves a "board of peace". Essentially, this would govern Gaza, and oversee reconstruction and humanitarian aid. It also follows a playbook similar to the occupation of Iraq, warns international law expert Shahd Hammouri: "The US using international legal mechanisms to normalise an unlawful occupation."


Guests: 


Shahd Hammouri, lecturer in International Law and Legal Theory at the University of Kent, and an international legal consultant


Nour ElAssy, poet and writer from Gaza, Palestine


Riley Sparks, reporter covering migration and human rights
