In an interview with Mehdi Hasan for Zeteo, the musician John Legend called for conditions to be placed on US aid to Israel, and spoke about prison reform, abortion rights and the Kamala Harris campaign.

On the dehumanisation of Palestinian children, he said that whatever the political disagreement and anger directed at Hamas and the leadership in Gaza, those kids are innocent.

John Legend talks to Mehdi about Gaza, Trump and criminal justice reform — Zeteo.
