So far, negotiators have failed to reach a ceasefire in Gaza. What could a broader war settlement look like? CNN’s Fareed Rafiq Zakaria talks with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and former Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister and PLO representative to the UN Nasser al-Kidwa, who have released a rare joint proposal: a framework for a prospective two-state solution. Ehud Olmert, who served as the 12th prime minister of Israel from 2006 to 2009 and Nasser Al Qudwa, represented the Palestinian Liberation Organization at the United Nations from 1991 to 2005 and the Foreign Minister of the Palestinian Authority (2005-2006) share with their proposal for a sustainable Peace in the Middle-East, based on the treaty that was originally devised by Gershon Baskin and Samer Sinjalawi.
Fareed Rafiq Zakaria is an Indian-born American journalist, political commentator, and author. He is the host of CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS and writes a weekly paid column for The Washington Post. He has been a columnist for Newsweek, editor of Newsweek International, and an editor at large of Time.
Gershon Baskin senses that Israel’s prime minister is using antisemitism to cover up domestic scandals and exploiting the war for his own self-interest. He also criticises the Palestinian side, which must prepare the ground for elections postponed for far too long. Qatar's step back should be used to restart negotiations.
Gershon Baskin shares with Pat Kenny of NewsTalk his thoughts regarding Israel's new Defence Minister, Qatar pausing its role as mediator and Trump returning to the White House and where does the Israel-Gaza conflict go next.
Gershon Baskin spoke to JURIST Senior Editor Pitasanna Shanmugathas about the complex obstacles preventing a ceasefire amid the conflict’s expansion into Lebanon and Iran, his unique correspondence with “the Palestinian Nelson Mandela” Marwan Barghouti, and how the period between Trump’s presidential re-election win and January 20th could be crucial for President Biden’s legacy in ending the war.
