Interview with Daniel Levy and Steve Clemons addresses how the events of October 7, 2023, and Israel’s military response in Gaza reflect the failure of decades of US-led diplomacy and settler-colonial impunity. Guest emphasizes that Israel’s occupation, the Gaza blockade, and systematic denial of Palestinian rights are at the root of the crisis. The US is criticized for shielding Israel from accountability, sabotaging regional peace prospects, and losing global credibility by selectively upholding international law. The discussion also highlights growing dissent among US Jews, fears of regional escalation, and the moral and strategic bankruptcy of Israel’s current leadership. Episode of Al Jazeera English program, The Bottom Line. This source is valuable for research on peace process efforts, Israeli occupation, the blockade and siege of Gaza, US complicity in Palestinian rights violations, and regional escalation.
