‘Unrest, chaos’: Bassem Youssef reveals 'worst solution' to Israel-Palestine conflict

Egyptian Comedian Bassem Youssef explains why moving Palestinians into other Arab states surrounding Israel would be the “worst solution” to the war in the Middle East.

In a wide-ranging and at times confronting interview with Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan, Mr Youssef broke down elements of the unfolding Israel-Hamas war.

The political commentator said Palestinians have essentially been “kicked around from their homes” and questions why another country should take them in.

“Israel has been talking openly about this, it’s like ‘why don’t they just go in Sinai? You know what would happen? Those people are going to be pushed in Sinai and with two million people living in refugee camps what do you think would happen? Unrest, chaos,” Mr Youssef said.

“Then after a few years, Western media will come with the cameras like ‘Oh look at those Arabs, oh they are killing each other’.”

Mr Youssef said it’s the same question that should be posed to the countries in Europe as to why they shouldn’t take in people from Israel.

“The whole idea is like ‘oh you’re Arabs, you are all the same’ – no, no, no.”

I’m surprised Sky news hasn’t removed the video in fear of people knowing the truth.

Israel never wanted a peaceful resolution to palestinian issue.

I am amazed sky news promoted this. They usually just promote a particular view. However, it is not the best part of the debate. They should put the lot up.

Sky news Aust showing this wow I'm witnessing a miracle

[apexgym]

Piers lacks serious knowledge on this and seems to breeze over very important points made by Bassem.

[gxprahman]

This Guy Bassem is just mind-blowing and genuinely Awesome, for speaking the truth, for fighting for justice for Palestinians.
The world needs more guys like Bassem Youssefi.
At the same time, I will have to give lots of credit to Piers Morgan for opening the platform to be heard. I think Piers changed his approach from the first interview with Bassem.
