29:10Now PlayingIn this Dropsite conversation, Jeremy Scahill joins Ryan Grim to break down his new reporting on Trump’s Gaza plan, the Beijing Declaration, and the growing political crisis inside Palestine. Scahill explains how major Palestinian factions — from Hamas to secular parties — have reached an unusual level of unity around rejecting the colonial terms of Trump’s proposals. He walks through the little-reported changes Mahmoud Abbas just made to Palestinian electoral law, why human rights groups across Palestine are calling it blatantly undemocratic, and how these moves could shape any future elections.
Scahill also discusses the power struggle over who speaks for Palestinians, the role China played in hosting the 2024 unity talks, and why the U.S. and Israel have resisted a genuinely representative Palestinian leadership. Toward the end of the interview, he highlights a story receiving almost no mainstream coverage: Israel’s killing of Palestinian fighters trapped in tunnels during an active ceasefire.
It’s a detailed look at the internal Palestinian political landscape, the international maneuvering around Gaza, and the reporting that’s been missing from western media.
