Seven months ago, Israel signed onto a ceasefire framework. The Palestinian resistance would return all living and dead Israeli prisoners of war and captives.
In return, Israel was supposed to stop its genocidal assault on Gaza, end the daily massacres of civilians, withdraw its forces, allow large-scale humanitarian aid, reopen the Rafah crossing and let a Palestinian-run civilian administration begin operating.
The Palestinian resistance factions upheld their side of the agreement, returning all Israelis. Israel predictably violated it.
That reality is worlds away from the fanfare surrounding the so-called Board of Peace and the AI-generated fantasy of a gleaming future for Gaza promoted after the ceasefire was announced.
Since then, the US and Israel have been working behind the scenes to impose a new formula on the Palestinians through Nickolay Mladenov, a former UN official who now serves as director-general of President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace and its so-called High Representative for Gaza.
On today’s program, we speak with Muhammad Shehada, who has obtained two key documents Mladenov sent to the Palestinian resistance factions laying out hardline Israeli demands.
Shehada is a writer and political analyst from Gaza and a visiting fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations.
Asa Winstanley will update us on the Filton 6 retrial verdict and the state of Palestine Action’s campaign against Israeli arms firm Elbit in the UK.
Nora Barrows-Friedman will provide us with an update on news from across Palestine and Lebanon and Jon Elmer will break down the latest videos of resistance operations.
Please join Asa, Nora, Jon, Ali Abunimah and Tamara Nassar for all this and more.
Thank you for reading, listening to and sharing all our original news and analysis at The Electronic Intifada.
