The Long War on Iran: How Israel and America Put Tehran in The Crosshairs | Matt Kennard

Support Palestine Deep Dive: https://www.palestinedeepdive.com/support
Israel and the US’s current war on Iran has been a long time in the making. Palestine Deep Dive’s Ahmed Alnaouq and Matt Kennard discuss the history of regime change efforts and why Tehran has been such a problem for Washington and Tel Aviv.
They discuss the history of Israel’s secret nuclear weapons program which began in the 1950s, and the evolution of the Begin Doctrine after Israel’s strike on the Iraqi reactor at Osirak in 1981.
They also talk about the fact that no evidence exists that Iran has a nuclear weapons program while Israel’s is widely-known documented - and the absurdity of the fact that Iran signed up to the Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1970, but Israel is one of only four countries which has always refused.
This interview was conducted on Friday 20 June 2025.

Support Palestine Deep Dive: https://www.palestinedeepdive.com/suppport
Iran and Israel are at war after Israel launched an unprovoked attack last week. Palestine Deep Dive’s Ahmed Alnaouq sits down with legendary journalist and hip hop artist Lowkey to talk about the role Iran has played in the history of resistance to Zionism, about whether regime change in Iran is Israel's end goal, and who might come out on top.
They also talk about the resistance to the Gaza genocide within the UK, particularly the role Palestine Action has played, and the repression the British state has unleashed on activists and journalists to try to dampen the popular movement for Palestine.
Finally, they compare notes on being interviewed by Piers Morgan, and talk about whether his recent change of position on the genocide in Gaza is genuine, and what his real goal is with his popular Youtube show.

"Kick Israel Out of FIFA NOW!" Israel is Killing Palestinian Footballers | Abubaker Abed

Palestinian journalist Abubaker Abed exposes Israel’s targeting and killing of Palestinian footballers in its ongoing genocide on Gaza, and demands Israel be kicked out of FIFA immediately.
Abubaker, who only left Gaza two months ago in April 2025, reports that at least 371 Palestinian footballers have been killed by Israel, including the legendary Palestinian player, “the Lion”, Mohammed Barakat.
Abubaker praises the solidarity of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy for their solidarity with Palestine, but criticises Egyptian captain Mohamed Salah calling him an “absolute disgrace” for his lack of vocal solidarity with Palestinians.
Abubaker says Israel must be kicked out of FIFA immediately for its violations of international law and asks footballers to start calling out Israel and begin naming it as the perpetrator of unprecedented war crimes against the Palestinians.
Last night, Palestine’s national football team faced Oman in the World Cup qualifiers, drawing 1-1 after a controversial penalty was awarded against them in the 97th minute, resulting in Palestine not qualifying for the finals of the tournament.
Tune in as Ahmed Alnaouq and Abubaker Abed, two Palestinians from Deir al-Balah–Gaza, deep dive into everything concerning football, sports and Palestine today.

EXPOSED: Israel's Sadistic "Hunger Games" in Gaza | Mosab Abu Toha

At least 57 Palestinians seeking aid have been killed and more than 363 injured in Israeli attacks in Gaza since this morning, bringing the total number of Palestinians killed at these so-called "aid distribution centres" to 224, according to Gaza’s health ministry.
So far, the centres ran by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation have proven to be nothing more than death traps for Palestinians, who have likened their experiences to the movie "The Hunger Games".
To discuss all this and more, Ahmed Alnaouq is joined by fellow Palestinian author from Gaza, the Pulitzer prize-winning poet and writer, Mosab Abu Toha.

‘We’ll Go Again’ Organiser of Gaza-Bound Ship Madleen says this is Just the Beginning | Nicole Jenes

Palestine Deep Dive’s Hala Hanina talks to actress and organiser Nicola Jenes, one of the key organisers of the Madleen Freedom Flotilla which has just been intercepted by Israeli occupation forces.
They talk about what happened early on Monday morning, what the activists were trying to deliver to Gaza, and what conditions they expect them to be held in. Jenes says despite the interception the flotilla was a success and that this is just the beginning of the attempt to break Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza.
They also discuss the huge global support for the flotilla and how this could change the situation in terms of Western government’s complicity in the siege and genocide.
Nicole Jenes is a content producer, actress and activist residing in Egypt.
Hala Hanina is a Palestinian journalist and political activist from Gaza.

Francesca Albanese calls for a Global Sea Fleet to Break the Siege of Gaza

Palestine Deep Dive’s Ahmed Alnaouq talks to UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese about the legality of Israel’s interception of the flotilla bound for Gaza.
Albanese says Israel’s actions are totally illegal and that it is obliged to immediately release the activists and return the vessel.
The Madleen was a UK-flagged ship and Albanese called on the British government to take its responsibility for the activists it held and pressure Israel to abide by international law.
But she went further saying that, now the flotilla has been intercepted, the navies of every nation in the Mediterranean, mentioning specifically France, Italy, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria and Spain should be sent to Gaza to break the siege.

They discuss efforts in the UK to build a mass mobilisation of support to stop Britain’s involvement and participation in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and assess the effectiveness of the tactics used across the movement, from boycotts and marches to permanent occupations and direct action.
But given Britain’s continued support for Israel, from refusing to implement a full arms embargo to continuing to send RAF spy flights over Gaza from the British base at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, Ahmed questions whether efforts have indeed been enough.
They also deep dive into the attempts of the British state to restrict and repress the Palestine solidarity movement and the democratic right to protest in Britain and also discuss the roots of Zionism and whether calling for Zionism to be dismantled is an effective framing and approach for supporting Palestinian rights today.

Jeremy Corbyn Demands Public Inquiry into UK Participation in Gaza Genocide

Jeremy Corbyn, independent MP for Islington North, today introduced a bill into UK parliament to secure a public inquiry into Britain’s role in the genocide in Gaza.
The former Labour leader is demanding transparency around UK military, economic and political cooperation with Israel, including weapons, intelligence and the use of RAF Akrotiri on Cyprus.
He has received support from a range of independent, Labour, Green, SNP and other MPs. Corbyn says a cover-up is going on into British complicity and adds a Chilcot-style inquiry is the only way to get to the truth.
He slams his former colleagues in the Labour Party including Keir Starmer, David Lammy and John Healey, saying they should be investigated for overseeing UK complicity.

Israel’s “Final Solution” for Gaza: A ‘New Dubai’ without Palestinians | Ahmed Alnaouq, Matt Kennard

Ahmed Alnaouq and Matt Kennard discuss what's next for besieged Gaza as it comes under the control of Israeli military and US mercenaries.
They delve into the new US-Israeli aid programme in Gaza, which has seen massacres of starving Palestinians trying to receive food.
This is a way, they say, to displace more Palestinians with the ultimate intention of full ethnic cleansing to a third country.
They also discuss the record of genocidal statements by senior Israeli officials and Benjamin Netanyahu’s Gaza 2035 plan to turn the Palestinian territory into a Dubai-style tech hub. 
Israel has long coveted the oil and gas off Gaza’s coast, they add, which includes 1.1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and nearly 2 billion barrels of oil.
This is a land grab but also a resource grab.
