Disarming Hamas
Summary
Host Zain Al Kurdi analyzes Hamas’s conditional agreement to disarm under the Trump-led Board of Peace, noting Israel’s rejection of the terms. He critiques the Board’s structure, which excludes Palestinians, prioritizes business interests, and lacks accountability mechanisms for Israel. The episode argues this model serves conflict management through repression rather than genuine resolution, setting a dangerous global precedent.
