Video - Bassem Youssef Returns to the Spotlight with a Palestinian Support Interview

Egyptian media personality Bassem Youssef confirmed his support for the Palestinians in Gaza during a heated and emotional discussion on Piers Morgan's live show on Talk TV. He addressed the historical treatment of Palestine in their conflict with Israel and highlighted the violations faced by the Palestinian people from the Israeli military. Youssef's statements, made while residing in the United States, generated significant interaction on social media, where users expressed their admiration for his approach in discussing the Palestinian issue and defending the Palestinians in Gaza, who suffer from displacement and killings at the hands of the Israeli army. He began his remarks by commenting on the "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation: "In recent days, my wife and I have lost contact with her family in Gaza, as she is Palestinian, but there is no need to worry; we are used to it, as we are used to people being killed there and then displaced. It's a normal occurrence; in reality, they don't die, and they continue to live..." He added, "I know this well because I am married to one of them. You have tried to kill her several times and failed." Piers Morgan responded, saying, "I understand your sad joke, Bassem." This interview comes at a time when violence continues in Gaza, resulting in more casualties.
