From peace camp to realism: Einat Wilf on Israel’s path forward
Manage episode 503367744 series 3686793
Israeli innovation envoy Fleur Hassan-Nahoum hosts former Member of Knesset, party leader and author Einat Wilf to challenge prevailing narratives and outline what genuine Middle East peace would require.
Wilf retraces a decade-long “awakening” from the 1990s peace camp to a data-driven conclusion: multiple offers for a sovereign Palestinian state (including 2000 and 2008) were rejected, followed by violence, with little internal criticism from Palestinian leadership. She unpacks the ideology she and Adi Schwartz call “Palestinianism”, a sustained fixation on preventing Jewish sovereignty in any part of the land and argues that lasting peace depends on defeating this ideology rather than recycling failed diplomatic formulas.
