YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Is the dream of a Palestinian “right of return” keeping peace forever out of reach?

Former Israeli Labor MP and foreign policy advisor to Shimon Peres, Einat Wilf, argues that the greatest obstacle to a two-state solution isn’t settlements—it’s the international community’s support for a fantasy that Palestinians will one day return to Israel proper.

In this provocative conversation, Einat joins Josh in Sydney to discuss her book The War of Return, the endurance of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, and what’s changed since October 7. She lays out why she believes peace depends on giving up the idea of return—and why Palestinian leaders have refused to do so.

📍 Recorded just as news was breaking of Israel’s strikes on Iran.
