Guest of 19/20 info, Thursday November 23, researcher Ziad Majed returned to the way in which the war between Hamas and Israel has put the Palestinian question at the heart of discussions.
Since October 7, Israelis have arrested several people”including children“, assures Ziad Majed, Franco-Lebanese researcher and political scientist, guest of 19/20 info, Thursday November 23. “Those arrested in the occupied West Bank or occupied East Jerusalem are not just common law prisoners or detained for security reasons. They are on their land, they have been kidnapped, arrested by an occupying army“, he adds. According to him, with the four-day truce in Gaza and the release of 50 hostages by Hamas, the conflict is entering a new phase.
“A question of occupation and colonization”
For him, the Palestinian question was forgotten by Westerners and by several Arab capitals. “October 7 once again places, in an atrocious manner and with a terrible human tragedy, the Palestinian question at the center of political, diplomatic and security issues in the region.“, affirms Ziad Majed. The Franco-Lebanese researcher and politician believes that public opinion is taking the issue of occupation more into account.”The Palestinian question is back and it remains fundamentally a question of occupation and colonization of a territory lost to the Palestinians.“, he concludes.
