Rob Geist-Pinfold

Rob Geist-Pinfold, a lecturer in defense studies at King’s College London, dives deep into the Israeli settler movement's historical roots and evolving nature from secularism to religious nationalism. He discusses how this transformation has influenced Israeli politics, particularly the far-right's rising power after the October 7th attacks. The conversation also covers the implications of these changes for Palestinian statehood and the West Bank's division, shedding light on the complex relationships between settlers and the Israeli state.
