Can we break the Israeli-Palestinian paralysis? - with Tal Becker

Episode Notes

Can Israel break the paralysis over the Palestinian question without risking its own security?

Israelis and Palestinians have been stuck for years, with no practical or diplomatic progress and little confidence that anything can change. Tal Becker argues that while the obstacles are real, accepting paralysis carries its own costs for Israel's security, regional relationships, international standing, and  national moral identity. He lays out what he believes the next Israeli government can realistically do to start moving forward without ignoring the lessons and trauma of October 7.
