On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Dr. Riyad Mansour, Palestine’s ambassador to the United Nations. In the first half of the interview, he discusses the massacre of Palestinians attempting to get a morsel of food aid in Gaza, Donald Trump’s and Israel’s proposal for Palestinians to be expelled from Gaza, Israel’s refusal to allow a pan-Arab delegation to visit Ramallah, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and the scheme to starve the Palestinians of Gaza, and his appeal for countries and journalists to break the blockade of Gaza. In the second half of the interview, Afshin Rattansi challenges him on why he has not brought up the US-UK-EU’s arming of Israel and intelligence sharing to their UN ambassadors at the Security Council, whether the Palestinian Authority is a hostage of Israel, the Palestinian Authority’s killing of Palestinians in the West Bank, why there still haven’t been elections for the Palestinian Authority, and much more.
