If Palestinians could vote tomorrow in a presidential election, poll after poll suggests that if he ran, Marwan Barghouti—who has been imprisoned by Israel for more than 24 years and is serving multiple life sentences—would win.Â
On today’s episode of Palestine Deep Dive, Ahmed Alnaouq and Hala Hanina are joined in the studio by Arab Barghouti, Marwan’s son, and Dr Shahd Hammouri, a Palestinian lecturer in international law at the University of Kent and a senior legal consultant at Law for Palestine.
Together, they explore the forces that have shaped Palestine’s past and present, from its political leadership and the question of Palestinian democracy, to international law, occupation, imprisonment, and the many questions that continue to define our future.

After years of postponements, the Palestinian Central Elections Commission is currently preparing for the first legislative elections since 2006, scheduled for 28 November 2026. A presidential election has also been announced for 2027.
Poll after poll suggests that if he ran for president, Marwan Barghouti—who has been imprisoned by Israel for more than 24 years and is serving multiple life sentences—would win.
Whether the vote will go ahead remains unclear, amidst logistical, political and territorial obstacles.
On this episode of Palestine Deep Dive, we pose the question: Is there any point of elections under occupation?
Arab Barghouti, Marwan’s son, and Dr Shahd Hammouri, Palestinian lecturer in international law at the University of Kent, weigh in.

Before Anything Else: "I'm Palestinian"
What does it mean to carry a homeland through memory?
In this episode of the Deep Dive, Ahmed Alnaouq sits down with Amy Abdelnoor, author of Ever Land, for a powerful conversation about Palestine, memory, identity, belonging and resilience.
Amy reflects on the inspiration for her novel, the symbolism of the cactus and the Palestinian connection to land.
Drawing on Amy’s Lebanese heritage and her experiences in Palestine and Lebanon, the conversation also explores how memory can become a form of continuity, how a sense of place can survive across generations, and why Palestine remains so deeply embedded in Palestinian identity. They also explore writing as resistance and the power of storytelling to create empathy.

“The Americans, and then Europe following like sheep behind, unpicked everything that was meant to keep people safe.”
Veteran journalist and author Victoria Brittain speaks to Palestine Deep Dive’s Jehan Alfarra about the long shadow of Guantánamo Bay and the so-called “War on Terror”, and what its legacy reveals about Gaza today.
Brittain has spent decades reporting from Vietnam, Africa, the Middle East and Palestine. Her book Shadow Lives: The Forgotten Women of the War on Terror explored the lives of women and families left behind when men were imprisoned without charge, often in systems built around secrecy, exceptional law and indefinite detention.
The conversation explores what Guantánamo represented, how extraordinary measures can gradually become normalised, and the striking and frightening parallels with the treatment of Palestinians today.

“What came before? Is there a zero point?”
In this episode of the Deep Dive, Ahmed Alnaouq sits down with Amy Abdelnoor, author of Ever Land, for a conversation about Palestine, memory, identity, belonging and resilience. They also explore the meaning behind “sifr” — zero — and why she chose it as the opening word of her novel.
For Amy, zero represents both nothing and everything: absence and possibility, an ending and a beginning. She also reflects on the history of zero, its origins in Asian mathematical thought, and the way knowledge has travelled, been dismissed, and later appropriated.
