First modification:
On June 24, 2021, political activist Nizar Banat, a fierce critic of corruption in the Palestinian Authority, died after being violently beaten by Palestinian security forces. His assassination had an immediate effect: thousands of people took to the streets of the Palestinian Territories to protest against the ruling party Al-Fatah and the president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, who is clinging to his position after having canceled the first elections. in 16 years.
In this documentary, the relatives of Nizar Banat denounce the intimidation they say they have suffered in their fight for justice. Camp militiamen tell us why they are now joining radical movements. Meanwhile, students in the Hebron region feel abandoned amid escalating Israeli settler violence and former Israeli security officials warn of the dangerous nature of the situation in the Palestinian Territories.
Our reporters Gwendoline Debono and Laurent Van der Stockt traveled the West Bank, from Hebron to Nablus and from Ramallah to Balata, to meet Palestinians who report feeling abandoned and hopeless. As Nizar Banat’s cousin stated: “We live under two occupations. That of Israel and that of the Palestinian Authority.”
