Six months after the events of October 7, the situation in Gaza is catastrophic. The population is trapped and threatened with starvation, while the possibility of a ceasefire is not guaranteed. In this context, how can we describe what is happening in Gaza? Rony Brauman is categorical: it is appropriate to talk about genocide. In this interview conducted by Elba Rahmouni, he offers a historical and political reading of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, looking at the reasons given by Israel to justify the siege of Gaza, the fate of prisoners and the usefulness of humanitarian law.

Liste de lecture Gaza, octobre 2023 – janvier 2024
01/15/2024Nous proposons ici la lecture d’articles publiés dans les médias entre le 14 octobre 2023 et le 10 janvier 2024 au sujet de la guerre Israël / Palestine par des intellectuels, des chercheurs et des journalistes, ainsi que deux témoignages d’écrivains palestiniens. Ces analyses permettent, nous semble-t-il, de mieux comprendre la situation tragique qui a cours en l’inscrivant dans une pluralité de dimensions : historique, démographique, politique et géopolitique.

Raid on Al-Shifa: What's next after Israel's operation at Gaza hospital
11/16/2023Michaël Neuman was invited to the Debate of France 24 to talk about the dire conditions in which the Palestinian population lives. He denounces the massacre that is happening in the Gaza strip which keeps increasing days after days, despite growing international condemnations, especially after the armed intervention of the Israeli soldiers justified by the alleged tunnels occupied by the Hamas below the Al Shifa Hospital.
