About this listen

Stage Two of the Gaza peace plan is being sold as a fresh start, but Dan Diker and Khaled Abu Toameh argue it may be the most dangerous mirage yet. In this episode of Our Middle East, they walk you through what actually happens when the Rafah crossing reopens, “technocrats” arrive, and the Donald Trump-era “Board of Peace” raises global expectations...while Hamas remains the de facto power on the ground, rearming and controlling key institutions. You’ll learn why disarmament talk is mostly theater unless someone can enforce it, why the real battlefield is cultural (education, ideology, incentives), and how a glossy “New Gaza” vision can backfire, turning Israel into the scapegoat when reality refuses to match the brochure. The takeaway is blunt: buyer beware, because the plan only works if the underlying system changes, and nobody can yet prove that’s happening.
