Belal Khaled

Bilal Khaled is in the building, everybody.

Famous photojournalist extraordinaire.

You're born and raised in Gaza.

Yeah.

And he is a famous photojournalist.

Worked for Al Jazeera.

Wow, TRT, the Turkish state broadcaster as well.

Yeah, he's a legend.

I'm honored to have you here.

Thank you for everything you've done.

And also thank you for coming on the broadcast.

I brought you on today because, well, one of the reasons why I brought you on is because I wanted to see if we could potentially go and see the Palestinian complex that exists here in Gaza.

I mean, I'm sorry, in Qatar, in Doha.

where a lot of people that have left Gaza, have escaped Gaza, have found a home here, found shelter here, and then they're getting hospital treatment here.

And then I wanted you to maybe speak on the conditions and your personal experiences as being a photojournalist who escaped Gaza as well.

Yeah, everyone wants to, of course, return eventually.

Yeah, that's been made endlessly difficult by the way that Israel and America has designed the situation.

While the rest of the world is under the assumption that there's a ceasefire going on, do you want to talk about that a little bit as well?

Yeah.

I do feel like the entire design of the so-called ceasefire, the fake ceasefire, was specifically so that they would respond not necessarily to the pushback that they were receiving from the resistance front, but instead to silence the protests that were taking place in the Western world because it had gotten to a point where it was completely untenable.
