Palestinian futures are being decided for them yet again as they are dispossessed by the new Trump Plan, argues Yara Hawari. When will Palestinians be free of repackaged colonialism?

New regulations mandate political conformity from groups trying to deliver humanitarian assistance to besieged Palestinians

A love story, a political narrative, and a tale of self-discovery converge in this intimate conversation. What happens when queerness, Palestine, exile, and truth-telling all intersect in one life? How do we reclaim ourselves when the world teaches us to hide? In this episode of Out Loud with Ahmed, I sat down with acclaimed writer and analyst Tareq Baconi (President of the Board of Al-Shabaka: The Palestinian Policy Network, author of Hamas Contained) to unpack his groundbreaking new memoir Fire in Every Direction.

A Palestina e o paradoxo da ajuda internacional Desde os Acordos de Oslo, mais de 50 mil milhões de dólares em ajuda internacional foram dirigidos para a Palestina. Três décadas depois, impõe-se a pergunta: o que é que esse investimento conseguiu?

Our conversation with writer, scholar, and activist, Tareq Baconi, about the many forms of containment forced onto Palestinians and the need to reclaim the Palestinian revolutionary legacy. We discuss Tareq’s book, "Hamas Contained: A History of Palestinian Resistance" (2018), his disillusionment with the limits of commentary, what a free Palestine actually means, and his new memoir "Fire in Every Direction" (2025).

Israel's exit-only plan for the Rafah crossing is fuelling fears of a gradual, coerced displacement of Palestinians as it deepens its hold over Gaza. Shatha Abdulsamad comments to The New Arab on the topic.

Tareq Baconi traces the group from its inception in the Muslim Brotherhood, to an armed resistance group, and then a democratically elected party. How did the group rise to power in Gaza? What were the conditions under which they adopted violence as a strategy? Did October 7 go as planned, or was there a miscalculation? And how is Tareq making sense of this moment in time, in the face of the ongoing genocide by Israel against the people of Palestine?
