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.

Writing in Foreign Policy, Matt Duss argues that Donald Trump’s rush to war is both
stupid and illegal. It is also wildly unpopular with the public. But he also observes that
congress has been reluctant to challenge Trump’s policy, although some progressives
have now forced the issue to a vote. Matt is a frequent guest of the show and foreign
policy expert. I talked to him about the dangers of a new war and also the larger
systematic problems of the imperial presidency.
