On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Salman Al-Ansari, who was awarded the Most Influential Political Pundit in the Middle East in 2021 by Arab News. He discusses the Israel-Gaza war and the context behind this explosion of violence stemming from the Israeli occupation’s continued assaults on Palestinian rights, Saudi Arabia’s official position on Israel’s ongoing bombardment of Palestinians in Gaza, Biden’s foreign policy being a ‘disaster’ and Israel’s bombardment of Gaza being a stain on US history, Iran and Saudi Arabia uniting together to support Palestine despite the existing bilateral issues, Israeli officials’ genocidal remarks against Palestinians, Saudi-Israel normalisation and Israel’s integration into the region being completely off the table while it continues to massacre Palestinians and deprive Palestinians of their rights, why the Gaza war has further exposed the need for a multipolar world, and much more.
