On the 30th anniversary of the Declaration of Principles signed on the White House Lawn, the esteemed scholar Daniel Pipes talks about the colossal failure of the Oslo Accords and what Israel needs to restore its place among the nations.
During this webinar, Pipes also discusses his new book, Israeli Victory which is about to be released. Can Israel redeem itself after years of appeasement of the Palestinian Authority? Has it created a dynamic in which Israel appears to be the guilty party, despite the fact that Israeli interlocutors have made successive generous offers to the Palestinians that have been consistently rejected? What is Pipes’s prescription for Israeli survival amid the existential threats it now faces from Iran, and from the various Iranian and Qatari-backed factions from within the Palestinian territories?
