The Occupation of Gaza (2023–Today): Part 1 of 2

In this episode of The Control Zone, hosts Jessica Buxbaum and Kellie Kuenzle speak with Palestinian writer and political analyst Muhammad Shehada about the current state of Gaza, the aftermath of the ceasefire, Israel’s military expansion, proposed US-led reconstruction schemes, and the rise of Israeli-backed criminal gangs accused of looting humanitarian aid. Shehada explains how Gaza’s destruction, displacement, and aid restrictions are shaping daily life, while unpacking the political and economic interests driving so-called postwar plans for the territory. This is the first installment of a two-part conversation with Shehada and part of the concluding episodes in our series, The Occupation of Gaza: From the Early 20th Century to Today.
