"The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it, too. We'll own it."

~Donald Trump, said with European Israeli, Benjamin Netanyahu, standing with him, on February 4, 2025

"You know, Gaza is interesting. It's a phenomenal location, on the sea, best weather. You know, everything is good. It's like, some beautiful things could be done with it. It's very interesting. Some fantastic things could be done with Gaza."

~Donald Trump, speaking on stealing Palestinian land (Jan. 25, 2025)

The United States just managed to pass a highly controversial resolution in the United Nations Security Council, which basically transforms Gaza into a UN Mandate and makes Donald Trump its governor. UN Resolution 2803 has already been heavily criticized by Human Rights experts like, Francesca Albanese and Craig Mokhiber.

The puzzling thing in this is that Russia and China, both abstained from voting, thereby helping the resolution to pass.

To help understand China’s position on West Asia, I’m today joined by ZHANG Sheng, a Non-resident Visiting Researcher at Turkey’s KUASIA (Coach) University, and the author of a very popular video on Youtube where he recently explained Chinese approaches toward Gaza.
