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.

Many of Joe Biden’s closest advisors are now well-ensconced in the sinecures reserved for the elite, working at think tanks, academia, and major media outlets. Normally, they could expect to have future jobs when the Democrats retake the White House. But this cozy situation is being disrupted by ongoing reporting showing the extent of their complicity in the Gaza genocide and other US crimes in the Middle East. I spoke about this with Connor Echols, managing editor of Responsible Statecraft, who wrote an excellent article on the efforts to hold these officials accountable.
