Muhammad Shehada

Palestinian analyst Muhammad Shehada says one year after Donald Trump's Gaza plan was announced, it has served to "buy more time for the genocide" rather than deliver peace. Speaking in an interview, he argued the proposal has allowed continued destruction and displacement in Gaza while offering no real path to Palestinian rights or statehood.

Muhammad Shehada appeared on Democracy Now! on September 29, 2026, sharply criticizing the Trump administration's Gaza plan one year into the war, describing it as "buying more time for the genocide." His comments are circulating among peace, antiwar and independent media audiences, reflecting ongoing debate over US policy toward Gaza and whether the plan advances peace or prolongs the conflict.
