On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to the Palestinian Ambassador to the UK Husam Zomlot. He discusses the coronavirus situation in occupied Palestine, the Abraham Accords signed by the UAE, Bahrain and Israel which were facilitated by Donald Trump, why the name Abraham Accords shouldn’t be used to describe the agreements, why normalization of relations by UAE and Bahrain with Israel hinder Palestine’s quest for statehood and an end to Israel’s occupation, the Trump administration’s treatment of Palestinians, the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and more! Finally, we speak to Allen West, former congressman and current chairman of the Texas Republican Party. He discusses the prospect of a Biden-Harris White House, Trump’s Middle East policy as regards the signing of the Abraham Accords, whether Donald Trump is preparing for a war with Iran in his second term, why the label of ‘Putin’s puppet’ has stuck with Trump despite arguably hawkish policies, the growth of Black Lives Matter protests in the US following George Floyd’s death, and much more!
