The fragile ceasefire negotiated between Israel and Hamas hasn’t ended the violence, but it has
for now lessened it. But even if the ceasefire holds, the need for a political solution to
Palestinian dispossession remains. To discuss the issue of accountability, I spoke to Yousef
Munayyer, who is the head of the Palestine/Israel Program and Senior Fellow at Arab Center
Washington DC. We talked about how the shocking events of the last two years have shifted
global public opinion, including in the United States. Both parties are heading towards a long-
delayed debate about the value of the US/Israel relation.

The famed economist Larry Summers, not for the first time, finds himself the center of a
scandal. He’s had to take a leave from Harvard, where he teaches, because of embarrassing
emails he had with his late friend Jeffrey Epstein.
I talked to economic journalist and Nation contributor Doug Henwood, a long-time Summers
watcher, about the career of this controversial and influential figure. Summers has been one of
the most influential policy makers of his era, serving as Treasury Secretary and President of
Harvard. He has also embodied the major intellectual and political limitations of the ruling class.
