We talked about the Trump plan, Gaza’s future, and the long-term consequences of this genocide.

Israel’s plans for the more than half of Gaza still under its control
Palestinian public opinion of Hamas
The potential role of international peacekeepers in and out of Gaza
The background and makeup of emerging rival criminal gangs in Gaza
The future of Palestinian politics, and Marwan Barghouti’s potential role
