WATCH | Mustafa Barghouti, General Secretary of the Palestinian National Initiative (PNI), debated Egyptian politician Abdel Monem Saeed on Egypt’s Al-Ghad TV about Gaza’s future and Palestinian unity.
Barghouti, a physician and legislator who co-founded the PNI in 2002, has long pushed for nonviolent resistance and factional unity, including in recent Doha talks. Saeed, a former Egyptian official, supports Egypt’s postwar Gaza plan—rebuilding under PA control while sidelining Hamas—a stance tied to Cairo’s security priorities and past PA alignment.
Al-Ghad TV, a Cairo-based outlet launched in 2016, often reflects Egypt’s state line, blending critique of Israel with PA-friendly narratives. This debate cut to the core of Palestinian divisions and Egypt’s stake in Gaza’s future.
Barghouti argued that the protests in Gaza—calling for an end to the war and for Hamas to step down from political governance—reflect Hamas’s own position, something the group has reiterated repeatedly. He stressed that the West Bank’s suffering—occupation, settler violence, and economic stagnation—persists without Hamas, challenging claims that the group alone is responsible for Palestinian suffering. He also pointed to the steady deterioration of living conditions and statehood prospects before October 7, highlighting failures over years.
