GAZA AND THE FUTURE

A conversation with
JOEL BEININ
Professor of Middle East History, Stanford University

With Gaza in ruins, a new foreign policy team taking over in Washington, and elections on the horizon for a new government in Israel, what does the future hold for the Israel-Palestine conflict?

In a wide-ranging discussion, Joel Beinin, Professor of Middle East Studies at Stanford University, and host Paul George will examine the motives behind Israel's brutal assault on Gaza, the media lock-out by Israel, expectations for Obama/Clinton foreign policy, and what the new Israeli government might look and act like. With the recent war on Gaza, the Israel-Palestine conflict will be at the top of the Obama agenda, but is there any hope of restarting peace talks?
