Does Biden’s Peace Plan Have A Chance? | Matt Duss | TMR

Live-streamed on June 10, 2024

Matt Duss, executive vice president at the Center for International Policy, discusses the recent events from the weekend in Israel, Palestine, & foreign policy.

Matt Duss joins, diving right into Biden’s recent decision to overshadow Trump’s conviction with an announcement of supposed ongoing ceasefire negotiations of Israel’s design, and how these talks inevitably fell into the same pattern of Netanyahu taking drastic action to prove bad faith to push Palestinian actors to kill the deal, unpacking why Biden is so scared of actually holding Israel to account, and touching on the major impact the continuation of this conflict is having on the already-precarious standing of US legitimacy in the Middle East. Returning to the ceasefire document, Duss walks through the important step toward peace this proposal represents, with contents that would actually require Biden (and others) to confront the Israeli government’s illegal occupation and the future of Palestinian statehood, before shifting to a brief conversation on domestic politics in Israel, from public opinion on the war to the power of Netanyahu’s far-right coalition, and touch on the recent Nuseirat Massacre and its further undermining of the humanitarian effort in Gaza. After reflecting on the Biden Administration’s failures with the Iran Nuclear Deal, Matt, Sam, and Emma wrap up with a brief assessment of the rising threat of fascism in Europe, and the slight containment of fascism in India.
