Podcasts about arab israeli peace

Aaron David​​​​ Miller, senior fellow in the American Statecraft Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, former State Department advisor on the Middle East, and the author of several books, including The Much Too Promised Land: America's Elusive Search for Arab-Israeli Peace (Bantam, 2008), talks about the current state of ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas and the best pathways to peace in the region.  Plus, he reacts to President Biden's live remarks on the campus protests.

On this episode of then & now, Middle East expert Aaron David Miller offers his perspective on the current state of affairs in Israel and Gaza after October 7, 2023 — and on the broader historical context of the explosion of violence in recent months.  Drawing on his decades of service in the U.S. State Department, he also traces the arc of American diplomacy on the Israel-Palestine question, noting the many failures and limited successes in this story. Miller reflects on the importance of balance and strong leadership, qualities that have often been in short supply in efforts to resolve or mitigate tensions between Palestinians and Israelis.   Aaron David Miller is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, focusing on U.S. foreign policy. He received his PhD in Middle East and U.S. diplomatic history from the University of Michigan in 1977 and has authored five books including The Much Too Promised Land: America's Elusive Search for Arab-Israeli Peace (2008).  Miller is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and a frequent commentator in print and visual media.  

It is too early to talk about a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians. With the trauma of Oct. 7 still fresh for the Israeli public and with the ongoing devastation in Gaza, any talk of conflict-ending solutions is cruel fantasy.But it wasn't always. Peace efforts in the Middle East have been tried over and over again. It is not a history without breakthroughs. There was a time when a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt would have been unthinkable. But that agreement lives alongside a long list of collapsed negotiations. Why?I wanted to have someone on the show who could help me read this checkered history. Aaron David Miller is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the author of “The Much Too Promised Land: America's Elusive Search for Arab-Israeli Peace.” Few people have been as intimately involved in the many Middle East peace processes as Miller. He's a decades-long veteran of the State Department who has touched peace negotiations under the Reagan, the Clinton and both Bush administrations. His book is the best I've read on the peace processes and what went wrong.In this conversation, we explore the frustrating, uneven history of Arab-Israeli peace efforts, Miller's hard-won insights about the reality of peace negotiations and the idiosyncratic personalities who have most influenced the prospects for peace in the Middle East.Book Recommendations:The Peace Puzzle by Daniel C.

Sucharov brings personal experience from her book Borders and Belonging: A Memoir, vulnerably relating her search for a political and emotional home, one that led her to live in Israel for three years in her twenties.

On September 15th, at a ceremony in Washington DC, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates established formal relations with Israel. This agreement was brokered by the United States, and more specifically, President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner. This deal was significant because this was the first formalization of trade talks between the Arab states and Israel. In this episode, Drew and Alex talk about the ramifications of this deal. While President Trump said that this discussion was important, many fear that again Palestine has been left out of the talks.  Also, there are fears that this agreement will embolden Benjamin Netanyahu and it may cause a hot conflict between Iran and this new alliance. 

Following Tuesday’s historic signing of the Abraham Accords between Israel, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates at the White House, we sit down with Israeli Acting Consul General Israel Nitzan to help us break down this exciting development and what it means for Israel. Then, in our closing segment, Shabbat Table Talk, AJC Associate Director for Policy and Middle East Initiatives Benjy Rogers shares why the Abraham Accords give him hope for the region.

This episode focuses on the first Arab-Israeli peace breakthrough, the Camp David Accords of 1978. Camp David resulted from Egyptian president Anwar Sadat’s electrifying visit to Jerusalem. It also required political courage from the other two leaders involved—President Jimmy Carter and Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin, who each took risks that put them at odds with domestic allies. The resultant Egypt-Israel peace treaty has had a remarkable impact on both countries, including an end to decades of interstate wars. And it endures today despite facing many obstacles, including Sadat’s assassination. Host David Makovsky discusses this major decision point with Dr. Ken Stein, who has been a professor of contemporary Middle Eastern history, political science, and Israel studies at Emory University for forty-three years. Ken has written several books on regional peace negotiations, including Heroic Diplomacy: Sadat, Kissinger, Carter, Begin, and the Quest for Arab-Israeli Peace.Audio clips used:RR7748A MIDDLE EAST SADAT'S VISIT TO ISRAELMiddle East: Sadat's Visit to Israel (B) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

What exactly is going on in Israel these days? They just had an election, but are having another one just a few months later? What about the situation on the ground with the Palestinians, and Jared Kushner's peace plan? And what can be made about the growing divide between American and Israeli Jewry. In this episode, Prof. Scott Lasensky and I discuss these issues and many more regarding the future of Israel, the Palestinians, and the region more broadly, while also looking at the US-Israel relationship and the schisms between Israeli and American Jews today. In all, this is a really good episode. Scott Lasensky is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland and a Non-Resident Fellow and Researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies, Israel's top defense and foreign policy think tank. Before that, he was the Senior Advisor to the US Ambassador to Israel, Dan Shapiro, and before that, Lasensky was the Senior Policy Advisor to the US Ambassador to the United Nations, under both Amb. Susan Rice and Samantha Power. He is also the co-author of "The Peace Puzzle: America's Quest for Arab-Israeli Peace, 1989–2011."

Speaker: Ahron Bregman Chair: Toby Dodge, LSE Middle East Centre In this talk, Bregman argues that ending the Israeli occupation and establishing a Palestinian state could only be achieved if three elements come together: first, the arrival in the occupied territories of the Arab Spring in the shape of a third, non-violent Palestinian intifada against the occupation. Second, massive international pressure particularly on Israel but also on the Palestinians to compromise. Third, the remaining in power of a right wing government in Israel. Recorded on 10 February 2014.
