UN Resolution on Gaza and Arab States’ Position
A recent United Nations resolution concerning Gaza has ignited controversy, with Arab states abstaining from the vote. The resolution has been described by some as effectively handing control of Gaza to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s influence. Russia and China also abstained from voting, highlighting the geopolitical complexities surrounding the issue.
Interview with UN Official Craig Mokhiber
Craig Mokhiber, a representative involved in the UN discussions, provided insights into the resolution and the implications of the abstentions by Russia, China, and Arab states.

Reports of Abuse Against Palestinians
