The Palestine-Israel war: 10 Steps Washington Can Take After the De-escalation of the War on Gaza

In this week's episode of Political Bark, I speak with Ambassador Hesham Youssef (United States Institute of Peace). Right now, Israeli led attacks have started again at holy sites in Palestine, only hours after a much sought after peace agreement between Palestine and Israel was negotiated. The continuous cycle of violence that erupts every few months, and years, needs to end: The US needs to orchestrate the road that will led to the end, and to the creation of a two state solution.  This episode bases itself on a recent publication by Ambassador Youssef (found here https://www.usip.org/publications/2021/05/10-steps-washington-can-take-after-de-escalation-war-gaza) and is an informal, and important discussion, including a Q&A from Political Bark's listeners on  the ongoing war.  Read more about Ambassador Youssef here: https://www.usip.org/people/ambassador-hesham-youssef Tune in!
