Hebron Arabs attempt to bypass Hamas and the Palestinian Authority

WATCH: “The Quad” with Emily Schrader and guest Ateret Shmuel

Could peace between Israel and the Palestinians come from Hebron, and not Ramallah or Gaza?

Host Emily Schrader, journalist and human-rights activist, is joined by an all-star panel, including Shoshanna Keats-Jaskoll (co-founder of Chochmat Nashim), Daniel-Ryan Spaulding (comedian and political commentator) and Ateret Shmuel (founder and director of Indigenous Bridges). Together, they unpack one of the most dramatic stories to emerge in the region: a reported offer by Hebron’s Palestinian sheikhs to break from the Palestinian Authority and join the Abraham Accords.

This episode addresses questions about whether Hamas is finally losing its grip on Gaza (reportedly down to just 20% control) and whether the old guard’s dominance over Palestinian politics is crumbling. With Israel controlling much of Gaza and Hezbollah hinting at disarmament, could we be at the edge of a historic shift, or is it all another mirage?

Other topics include:

  • Trump and Netanyahu’s strategic U.S. meeting and its impact on Gaza policy
  • Hostage negotiations, mental health crises in the IDF, and the cost of prolonged war
  • Scathing critiques of Western media bias, Hamas apologists and the failures of the United Nations
  • Heroic stories from Israeli military families and frontline mental-health tragedies
