On this episode of Going Underground we speak to Palestinian Ambassador Afif Safieh, the former PLO Representative to the UK, US and Russia. He discusses why Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has shot himself in the foot and why he is prolonging the genocide in Gaza to preserve his own power, the US’ role in constantly shielding Israel and rendering the international system to be completely impotent, his hopes for the new Sir Keir Starmer government in the UK despite his pro-Israel standpoints, Joe Biden’s electoral vulnerability after supporting Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the farce of current ceasefire negotiations and whether the Republicans will be any worse than the Democrats in power after November. In the second half, the discussion turns tense on the subjects of how beholden the Palestinian Authority is to Israel, the lack of any reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas and who is to blame, the continuous delaying of Palestinian elections, reports of Netanyahu preferring a Palestinian Authority-run Gaza, and much more.
