Dr Achcar: Trump’s Gaza plan is ‘the most botched peace plan in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict’

This evening, Mark Owen welcomes Dr Gilbert Achcar, professor of international relations at SOAS University London and author of “The Gaza Catastrophe”, who delivers a scathing critique of Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza. As the dust has barely settled on a fragile ceasefire, Dr Achcar reveals the structural flaws, political illusions and moral hazards at the heart of a plan he deems “completely botched from the start”. His analysis calls into question the veneer of diplomacy, revealing instead a sinister architecture of power that risks perpetuating violent conflict under the guise of forced peace.
