Trump’s Gaza madness ft Lewis Goodall

No, there's no pause. There's not even time for us to make fun of Drake. That's how serious the situation is. To discuss these waves of chaos and, back in the UK, the salacious allegations that his inner circle describe Keir Starmer as an HR manager, we'll be joined by a very special guest, the newsagent Lewis Goodall.

That's Trump announcing his plans for Gaza in a press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Just to summarise some of the other headlines coming out of these announcements, Trump said that the Palestinians would have no alternative but to leave Gaza. The US would own and develop the Gaza Strip.

Trump’s Gaza madness ft Lewis Goodall

He's called Gaza a symbol of death and destruction and that the only reason people would want to live there is because they have nowhere else to go. And he spoke about it in chillingly cold terms. He spoke about it as the real estate developer he always has been and said that he envisions Gaza as a Riviera of the Middle East.

So in terms of what this means for the Palestinian people, he suggests that the 1.8 million Palestinians living in Gaza should move to neighbouring countries with humanitarian hearts. So this is ethnic cleansing. This is, you know, the use of violence and force and intimidation to essentially drive a community of people out of their homes.

If you watch that footage of Trump giving the press conference, Netanyahu is stood next to him on a lectern and it's sort of nodding approvingly throughout. What you're seeing really is the realisation of Netanyahu's ambitions for Gaza, which is effectively to drive the Palestinians out of their homeland and make it a part of Israel.

This is why Netanyahu has been so open in his support for Donald Trump, because he knew that Trump would open the door for exactly this happening. But if international law is to mean anything anymore, then the international community has to stand strongly and the United Nations has to stand strongly against this plan because it is ethnic cleansing.

And I know that there are people who are going to accuse me of naivety for even asking questions like this, but this is a defining moment in the history of these institutions. And if they are unable to enforce the laws that they themselves have laid down, then there's simply no point in them continuing to exist.

Trump’s Gaza madness ft Lewis Goodall

The Turkish foreign minister has described Trump's Gaza plan as unacceptable. And Hamas has said that the Trump plan will pour oil on the fire. From a British perspective, our foreign secretary, David Lamy, was at a press conference this morning with his Ukrainian counterpart. And he said that we have always been clear in our belief that we must see two states.

We must see Palestinians live and prosper in their homelands, in Gaza and the West Bank. I'm pleased to hear the unambiguous language from Lamy in that moment. If they stand aside and allow this to happen, then where is their moral authority to criticize Vladimir Putin? Really, I'm asking genuinely.
