The Proximate Aspect with Peter Oborne

In this episode of Al Mayadeen's The Proximate Aspect, British journalist and author Peter Oborne discusses his book "Complicit: Britain's Role in the Destruction of Gaza," arguing that Britain has played a direct role through arms sales, diplomatic backing, media alignment, and interference with international accountability mechanisms.

Drawing on legal frameworks and documented evidence, Oborne outlines how Atlanticism, US power, and Britain’s political establishment have shaped policy toward Gaza, while public opposition is ignored and critical voices are sidelined.

The conversation examines responsibility, impunity, the role of international courts, and whether Gaza could mark a turning point for accountability under international law.
