• ‘Common enemy’: the Epstein class behind Oslo’s failure | Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbani
    Feb 18 2026

    In this episode of Palestine This Week, we ask whether the two-state solution has finally run out of graves to bury it in. As Israel tightens its grip on the occupied West Bank and rewrites the Oslo framework in real time, we examine the collapse of diplomatic illusions and the rise of raw power politics.

    We unpack the shifting narrative around Gaza’s death toll, Israel’s parallel aid system, Netanyahu’s Washington visit and growing fractures inside the US conservative base over Israel.

    And in a deeper dive, we explore the idea of a “common enemy” — from the legacy of Oslo to the emergence of what some are calling the Epstein class — and what that says about the global networks shaping the fate of Palestine.

    Chapters:
    00:00 Introduction & Overview
    02:03 How many burials can the two-state solution survive? Israel tightens grip on the West Bank
    12:48 Oslo rewritten? Israel’s foreign ministry accused of historical revisionism
    20:40 50,000 “militants”? The dangerous new narrative around Gaza’s death toll
    28:55 Gaza’s parallel aid system: is Israel replacing humanitarians with the security industry?

    42:14 Smear campaign against UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese: who is trying to silence her?
    49:15 Epstein, Oslo and power networks: what the files reveal about global influence
    53:11 Cracks in the conservative base: are American evangelicals turning away from Israel?

  • The predicted 'collapse of Israel before its centenary' | Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbani
    Feb 11 2026

    Is Israel collapsing before its centenary? In this episode of Palestine This Week, we examine warnings from a former Israeli major general that the state may not exist by 2048, citing internal fracture and growing international isolation. We analyse how the language of ceasefire now functions to manage, rather than end, Palestinian death and destruction, while dismantling Israeli claims used to justify the high civilian toll.

    The episode investigates evidence that prohibited weapons have erased thousands of bodies in Gaza, the killing of a 14-year-old boy left to bleed to death in the illegally occupied West Bank amid accelerated settler expansion, signs of democratic retrenchment in the UK through the criminalisation of Palestine solidarity, and a looming scandal inside Human Rights Watch over the Palestinian right of return.

    Chapters:
    00:00 Introduction & Overview
    01:52 Ceasefire as cover for continuing genocide
    08:14 Hearing voices from Gaza
    09:30 Gaza and the collapse of legal and moral limits on killing
    18:03 Urban warfare and the deliberate devaluing of Palestinian life
    22:13 The killing of 14-year-old Jadallah Jadallah in the West Bank
    32:15 Christian Zionism and the exodus of Christians from the Holy Land
    38:35 Former Israeli general warns of Israel’s collapse by 2048
    46:52 Human Rights Watch shelves right of return report
    54:19 UK jury acquits Palestine Action defendants

  • From Jabotinsky to Epstein: Zionism and the Cult of Cruelty | Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbani
    Feb 3 2026

    Israel now admits Gaza’s death toll—but only after years of denial. Mouin Rabbani joins to explore what this shift means, and how media and political elites helped enable genocide. We look at US complicity, the BBC’s Gaza coverage collapse, and the ideology of Jewish supremacy inside Israel’s government. Plus: the Epstein files, vice as political currency, and Arab states scrambling to prevent war with Iran.

    00:00 Introduction & Overview
    02:30 Why has Israel now accepted Gaza’s death toll after years of denial?
    14:46 Has the media become Israel’s ‘getaway car’ in genocide?
    21:28 Did US envoys help suppress warnings of Gaza becoming an 'apocalyptic wasteland'?
    26:37 Is Jewish supremacy ideology now mainstream in Israeli politics?
    30:04 What does Mike Huckabee’s tribute to Ze’ev Jabotinsky reveal about Israel’s historical trajectory?
    34:42 Is virtue signalling being replaced by vice signalling in Western politics?
    40:15 Why is the global far right flocking to Jerusalem and promoting the ‘great replacement’ myth?
    42:18 Do the Epstein files point to Mossad ties and deeper political compromise?
    51:27 Are Arab states trying to prevent a catastrophic US-Israel war on Iran?

  • 'Trojan Horses' of a New Imperial Order | Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbani
    Jan 28 2026

    This week’s episode takes apart Trump’s so-called “Board of Peace”—or as some are calling it, a board of chaos—and the move to install a National Committee to run Gaza. Is this about rebuilding, or reshaping Gaza to fit Israel’s terms? We dig into the UN’s report showing a staggering 10.6 per cent drop in Gaza’s population. In Beit Jala, we look at how Palestinian Christians are being wiped from the map, and in the US, ICE tactics are starting to look eerily like the tools of colonial control. Plus: why the UAE is being called Israel’s Trojan horse in the region.

  • Gaza: The Testing Ground for a Lawless New World Order | Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbani
    Jan 21 2026

    In this episode of Palestine This Week we break down a turbulent and revealing few days in regional and global politics. The conversation moves from Trump’s proposed “Gaza Board of Peace” and what it says about the push to sideline the UN and reshape global governance, to Israel’s own contradictions over Gaza’s future and the demolition of UNRWA’s headquarters in Jerusalem.

    We also look at a rare and forceful intervention by Christian leaders in Jerusalem warning against Christian Zionism and rising tensions involving Iran and Syria. The episode closes with shifting alliances across the region, especially the deepening rift between Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and what all of this could mean for Palestine.

    Jan 14 2026

    From Gaza to Tehran, the region is hitting a breaking point.

  • From Gaza to Venezuela: How the Rules of the World Are Being Broken | Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbani
    Jan 9 2026

    This week we talk about how the fallout from Gaza is reshaping politics far beyond Palestine. We start with Israel shutting down humanitarian groups and the growing scale of displacement in Gaza and the West Bank, then move to Venezuela and the claim that Israel played a role in pushing the US toward regime change and the capture of Nicolás Maduro.

    From there, the conversation widens to how power is being used more openly and aggressively—from Israel’s recognition of Somaliland and talk of relocating Palestinians, to cracks between Saudi Arabia and the UAE, new Arab alliances, and what all of this could mean for the world heading into 2026.

  • Can imperial Israel ever cross a red line for Arab states? | Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbani
    Dec 24 2025

    This week’s episode starts with Gaza and the forced displacement of Palestinians, using the No Place Under Heaven report to explain how people are being pushed from place to place while basic conditions for life are deliberately denied We then look at Israel’s wider plan in Gaza: building permanent military control, changing the geography on the ground, and trying to rule through local proxy forces, and why that approach is now failing.

    The episode then moves to the political fallout beyond Gaza. We discuss the generational divide among Jewish voters highlighted by support for Zohran Mamdani, before looking at how Israel is once again pushing the US toward a possible war with Iran and the role neoconservative thinking still plays in Washington. We also ask whether Gaza has become a red line for Arab states, examine the UAE’s role in influence operations and disinformation, and end by reflecting on what Gaza forces us to confront about complicity and responsibility as this genocide continues.
