Transcript

00:00On Monday President Trump said, and we just had a clip of it there, that the

00:04Palestinians who left Gaza would have no right of return after leaving. What do

00:09you make of all of this? Well it's unfortunately unsurprising it's

00:14consistent with what we've been hearing from Trump in general not only in the

00:19last three weeks but to be honest over the entirety of his political career

00:24during his first term as well which is erasure of the Palestinian people as a

00:29political community with national rights, denial of the fact that those rights are

00:36enshrined in international law.
