Website: https://www.saic.edu/profiles/faculty/raja-el-halwani Summary: In this interview, Professor Raja Halwani argues that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is fundamentally a territorial dispute. Halwani explains how the Zionist project, specifically the pursuit of a Jewish state with a secure demographic majority, led to the displacement of the indigenous Palestinian population. He posits that the two-state solution is currently obstructed by Israel's expansion of settlements and occupation, suggesting that an ideal, though currently difficult, path toward peace would be a single, secular state where all inhabitants possess equal rights.
