Today, we’re joined by BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen to explore oppositional visions for a post-war Gaza — one from the Americans and the other from the rest of the western world. There are two competing international visions for the future for Palestinians: much of the Western world will recognise Palestinian Statehood at this month’s United Nations General Assembly in a push towards the two-state solution; whilst Donald Trump has touted plans for a US-controlled Gaza riviera. But how do these ideas line up with reality on the ground, as Netanyahu’s government continues to bombard the Gaza Strip, approves plans for expanding settlements and expresses support for a ‘Greater Israel’ that expands across the Middle East? We consider Gaza’s future with BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen.
