Eugene Kontorovich: Global Community Never Cared About the Arabs | Top Story, Ep. 30

International legal scholar Eugene Kontorovich joins JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin.

They also delve into the Biden administration’s controversial efforts to reopen a consulate to the Palestinians in Jerusalem, the legal status of settlements and why the international community is determined to invalidate Jewish property rights in Jerusalem.
