YouTube Description
as posted by the channel“There’s a very dire situation happening when it comes to who speaks for the Palestinians,” Jeremy Scahill told Drop Site Live.
“No matter how much servitude Abbas engages in, no matter how weak and decrepit the PA is, it’s still too Palestinian for the Israelis.” He said Israel and the US have long blocked any unified Palestinian leadership, with the PA often serving as a “veneer of legitimacy” for their plans — including with the new U.N. Security Council resolution.
Scahill notes Yahya Sinwar tried in 2017 to broker a deal for the PA to return and take power in Gaza, but Abbas backed off under US and Israeli pressure. And he stressed this isn’t about Hamas alone: the most popular national figure remains Marwan Barghouti, whose legitimacy threatens both Israel and Abbas.
