Episode notes
Seismic Events and Peace
- Every peace advance since 1967 followed a seismic event.
- These events prompted internal shifts towards peace, not external pressure.
Core Aspirations
- The only viable solution must address both sides' core aspirations and fears.
- This requires self-determination for both Israelis and Palestinians.
One-State Solution Variations
