SPEAKER 2
I'm Sherif Abdelkuddus from DropSide News, DropSideNews.com. Today, we're going to be speaking about a range of issues, but we're going to start with the most pressing issue right now, which is Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza. It's been over two months since the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire deal signed
0:56
in January between Hamas and Israel came to an end. And the day after Israel a day after the first phase of that deal expired, Israel imposed a total blockade on Gaza, denying the entry of all food, fuel, medicine, and other humanitarian goods. And this is the longest blockade by far since the beginning of the war,

and it's plunged Gaza into the worst humanitarian crisis of the 19-month war. This is essentially a policy of collective punishment and forced starvation on Gaza's 2 million residents. More than 65,000 children have been hospitalized with severe malnutrition. And there are real fears that thousands of children are literally going to starve to death or die of related illnesses.

Jeremy Scahill on His Recent Interviews With Hamas

Drop Site’s Sharif Abdel Kouddous, Murtaza Hussain and Jeremy Scahill discuss Gaza, Palestinian resistance, and Yemen’s defiant stance.

Israeli ministers this week approved plans to capture the entire Gaza Strip and remain entrenched there indefinitely. This comes as ceasefire talks remain deadlocked after Israel abandoned the original three-phase framework—which stipulated a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and the declaration of a permanent ceasefire—and issued a series of new demands, including the complete demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, a red line for Hamas.

Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill recently held a series of rare, in-depth interviews with senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan and other leading figures of Palestinian resistance groups about the state of the negotiations, disarmament, Egypt’s role as a mediator, Hamdan’s direct talks with Donald Trump’s envoy Adam Boehler, the group’s current view of what is often referred to as a “two state solution,” and much more.

Drop Site’s Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Murtaza Hussain speak with Scahill about what Hamas and other groups told him. Hussain also discusses recent developments in Yemen and how the U.S. appears to be targeting coordinates posted by social media analysts online.
