On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Dr. Mohammad Al Sabban, a former senior advisor to the Saudi Minister of Petroleum. He discusses Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza and the threat of another round of displacement for Palestinians, saying Muslim and Arab countries will join the fight if Israel’s aggression continues. He also discusses Western hypocrisy as pro-Palestine demonstrations are cracked down on in NATO countries such as France, why Arab leaders are refusing to meet with President Biden during his Mideast trip to rally support for Israel, and Western inaction on implementing the ‘two-state solution’. The discussion also touches on why the US knows it cannot risk a war against the Islamic world, as the Israel-Palestine war threatens to escalate to a regional conflict.
