INSIGHT

Plan Offers Aid But Not Justice

Mehdi Hasan says the Trump/Blair/Netanyahu-authored plan offers immediate humanitarian gains but fails on core justice issues.
He argues the plan is colonial, vague on statehood, and leaves Israel controlling large parts of Gaza.

INSIGHT

Sticking Point Is Demilitarization

Hasan notes Hamas agreed to technocratic governance and a hostage-for-detainee exchange in prior offers.
The main sticking point is Israel's late demand for immediate total demilitarization by Hamas.

INSIGHT

Peace Undermined By Expansionist Goals

Hasan argues some Israeli leaders actively undermine negotiations because expansionist goals conflict with genuine peace.
He points to historic strikes on negotiators and Netanyahu's rhetoric promising to 'win' and stay in Gaza.

It’s two years today since Hamas’ horrific attack on Israeli festival goers on October 7 - and few can dispute that Israel’s response over the last 24 months has been wholly disproportionate. Hate-filled protests have since routinely reached cities across the world - and last week in the UK there was a sickening attack on a synagogue, followed quickly by another on a mosque. Finally it seems President Trump may be close to securing a deal that will put a stop to the killing and suffering - could an end to the war spell a beginning and end for Netanyahu, too? Piers Morgan is joined by Zeteo editor-in-chief, Mehdi Hasan, investigative journalist and host at The Empire Files, Abby Martin, retired lieutenant colonel and IDF spokesman, Jonathan Conricus and Netanyahu’s digital aide Hananya Naftali.
