srael seeks to “reoccupy Gaza,” turn it into a “Riviera of the Middle East,” and—more critically—solve what it sees as its “demographic problem.” He lays out that Israel’s strategic aim is mass expulsion of Palestinians, both from Gaza and eventually the West Bank, to maintain a Jewish demographic majority without granting equal rights, which would otherwise expose Israel as an apartheid regime.

WATCH: Israel Rejects Hamas’s Offer to Step Aside in Gaza, Pursues Expulsion Instead Ryan Grim asks Dr. Sami Al-Arian about a key provision in the original ceasefire framework proposal between Hamas and Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff — specifically, Hamas’s willingness to hand over Gaza’s governance to an independent technocratic committee. Grim notes that while Hamas included this concession, Israel rejected it, and subsequent U.S.-Israeli negotiations stripped the provision out. Why does Hamas insist on including this point, and why does Israel continue to block it, even though Israel claims to oppose Hamas’s rule in Gaza? Dr. Al-Arian explains that Israel’s rejection is not truly about Hamas governance but about preventing any Palestinian authority in Gaza. Hamas’s proposal, developed through Egyptian mediation, would have removed them from political power in favor of a technocratic body. However, Al-Arian says Israel seeks to “reoccupy Gaza,” turn it into a “Riviera of the Middle East,” and—more critically—solve what it sees as its “demographic problem.” He lays out that Israel’s strategic aim is mass expulsion of Palestinians, both from Gaza and eventually the West Bank, to maintain a Jewish demographic majority without granting equal rights, which would otherwise expose Israel as an apartheid regime. In Al-Arian’s words, Israeli leaders have chosen genocide and ethnic cleansing as a “fourth way” and now seek to achieve a situation where they can have the land, call themselves democratic and Jewish, and, as he put it, “damn the Palestinians and damn the whole world.”
