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.

As millions of Americans protest Donald Trump under the slogan of “No Kings,” it is
worth asking how the nation ended up with such an authoritarian president. David Sirota
and the team at The Lever have provided a great answer to this question in their new
podcast seriesMaster Plan: The Kingmakers, which looks at the revival of the Imperial
Presidency after the Watergate scandal of the early 1970s. I talked to David about the
history uncovered in this podcast and why Trump is merely a symptom of a much
deeper problem.
