Podcast
A podcast series that brings together voices of Palestinian experts from around the world.
Last October, the Trump administration announced a ceasefire deal in Gaza after two years of relentless carnage. Since the deal was announced, Israel has continued to occupy much of Gaza, and its forces have killed hundreds of Palestinian civilians.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has launched his so-called Board of Peace to administer Gaza without any input from Palestinians. Having received a blank check for his scheme from the UN Security Council, Trump now presents the Board of Peace as an alternative to the UN itself.
In this collaborative episode of Rethinking Palestine, Al-Shabaka Co-Director Yara Hawari joins Jacobin's Long Reads for an update on conditions in Gaza and the wider international context.
Long Reads is a Jacobin podcast, hosted by features editor Daniel Finn, looking in-depth at political topics and thinkers, both contemporary and historical, with the magazine’s longform writers.
Layth Malhis discusses the concept of "de-healthification" as the governing logic of health under settler colonialism: the systematic degradation, obstruction, and weaponization of the very conditions that make health of the Indigenous population possible.
We close 2025 with curated highlights from this year's most powerful conversations. From the complexities of Palestinian politics to global responses to Gaza's genocide, this episode captures the moments that defined the struggle for justice over the past twelve months.

Insightful articles featuring Al-Shabaka policy members across media and press, offering expert perspectives on key issues.
Physical rebuilding of the shattered territory must include a concerted strategy for political reconstruction.
Fathi Nimer, a policy fellow at Al-Shabaka, described the movement as one that “translates into absolute unquestioning support for the Israeli regime”. He described hearing a podcast about a Christian Zionist woman visiting Bethlehem who, after seeing the separation wall, Israeli soldiers and the harsh conditions in Palestinian refugee camps, remarked: “I feel bad for them, but scripture is scripture.”
Fathi Nimer said it was unclear whether the interim constitution would be implemented or abided by. “Basic Law and the new interim constitution cover freedom of expression, protest and elections – but those have not been adhered to by the PA, which has been acting in negligence of Basic Law,” Mr Nimer said.
Press Releases
Press release
After more than 16 months of engagement, we welcome the FDFA’s decision to correct its public communications and remove any implication that the Swiss government ended its contract with Al-Shabaka as part of its 2023 investigation. As a result, the FDFA has quietly amended its statements, removing all references to Al-Shabaka from the list of organizations it had previously claimed were subject to contract termination.
