Future Perfect: Antony Loewenstein on Gaza Peace Negotiations

In their latest round of attacks, Israel killed 17 people across Gaza, bringing the death toll to more than 1200 since the US-brokered ceasefire last year and ongoing so-called "peace talks" between Hamas and Israel.

Dylan Bird is joined by independent journalist and author Antony Loewenstein to unpack the latest violence, whether there’s any reason for hope amid reported momentum in peace negotiations, and Antony’s experience on the ground in his recent visit to the West Bank.

“There’s a disconnect where there’s never been more support for Palestine globally – polls show that month after month – and yet it’s never been worse for Palestinians. So that support is not being translated into pressure and facts on the ground for Palestine … it’s a life-and-death disconnect”
