ReportageL'ombra del Qatar su Gaza: soluzione o problema? - di Valentina FurlanettoIl Qatar ha finanziato Hamas a Gaza per anni e lo ha continuato a fare anche prima del 7 ottobre, tutto questo con il placet del primo ministro di Israele Benjamin Netanyahu. A dirlo è Udi Levi (nella foto sopra), che è stato per 14 anni un dirigente del Mossad. Del ruolo ambiguo del Qatar, da una parte mediatore del cessate il fuoco, dall'altra grande finanziatore di Hamas, abbiamo parlato anche con Issa Amro (nella foto sotto), leader delle battaglie palestinesi pacifiche di Hebron, indicato da Time come una delle 100 personalità più influenti al mondo. Intanto a Gaza la tregua è arrivata ai suoi 1...

StoriesEp.842: Cosa pensa un pacifista palestinese del piano di pace di Trump“La fine delle bombe su Gaza e la liberazione degli ostaggi sono un sollievo, ma serve la fine dell’occupazione oppure la pace non durerà”, ci dice Issa Amro. Il piano di Trump e il riconoscimento dello Stato palestinese da parte di tante nazioni vicine a Israele hanno un punto in comune, dicono: uno stato ci potrà essere soltanto dopo una riforma profonda dell’Autorità nazionale palestinese. Poiché Issa Amro vive sotto la giurisdizione dell’Anp oltre che sotto occupazione israeliana, e denuncia l’Anp almeno quanto denuncia l’occupazione israeliana, è la persona giusta con cui affrontare l’argomento.

Kalam51. Hebron and "The Settlers" With Issa AmroThe human rights veteran Issa Amro recently featured in Louis Theroux's documentary "The Settlers", where he showed the absurdity of Israeli apartheid in his hometown of Hebron, Khalil in Arabic. Palestinians are forbidden to walk down high street in the old city of Hebron to provide security for Israeli settlers who are living in the city illegally. This episode was recorded in December 2024, when Issa Amro was visiting Sweden to receive the prestigious Right Livelihood Award, but his telling of the story of Hebron and how apartheid ruined it is as relevant as ever.

JOHNSTONEIsrael Will Even Persecute Palestinians For Simply Talking To JournalistsIsraeli soldiers have been harassing a Palestinian activist who appeared in Louis Theroux's recent documentary The Settlers to talk about Israel's apartheid abuses in the occupied West Bank. Issa Amro shared footage of IDF troops raiding his home over the weekend, days after Theroux's film debuted on the BBC.
Israelis not only murder journalists, attack journalistic institutions and block journalists from entering the Gaza Strip, they also persecute Palestinian civilians who speak with journalists.

Talking Human RightsPalestinian Gandhi on Trial: Part 3 (Guilty Until Proven Innocent)Join us as we go deeper into the case of Issa Amro before an Israeli military court, and deeper into the two very different sets of laws at work in the West Bank.

KonfliktIsraelisk högerextremism och judiska valFör 25 år inträffade en massaker i en moské i Hebron. Mördaren hade koppling till en terrorstämplad judisk grupp från New York. Nu kan arvtagarna till den ideologin ta plats i Knesset, inbjudna av premiärministern. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Den 9 april är det val i Israel. Under premiärminister Benjamin Netanyahus 10 år vid makten har landet gått allt längre högerut och kanske korsades en röd linje när Netanyahu nyligen sträckte ut handen till det högerextrema partiet Otzma Yehudit, Judisk styrka, i ett försök...
