Description

After three months of what President Biden called an indiscriminate bombardment, the future of Gaza remains a point of disagreement between Israel and the U.S. President Biden wants to see Gaza under a revitalized Palestinian Authority as a step toward a two-state solution, an idea opposed by the fragile Israeli government. Can an independent Palestinian state be born out of the rubble and loss of life?

Dr. Atef Gawad discussed this important topic with his guests: Mr. Khalil E. Jahshan and Professor Gregory Aftandilian.
