Mayor of Efrat: The West Bank is a powder keg

“Our Middle East: An Insider’s View” with Dan Diker and Khaled Abu Toameh, and guest Oded Revivi

JCPA president Dan Diker and Arab-Israeli journalist Khaled Abu Toameh speak with Efrat Mayor Oded Revivi about the Biden administration’s sanctioning of four “settlers” for violence against Palestinians.

They discuss the implications of such an act, and what it signals to Palestinian society and the region at large. They also talk about a major story not being focused on—the increase in violence and attempted attacks by Arabs against Jews living in Judea and Samaria.

Dan Diker is president of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs and the longtime director of its Counter-Political Warfare Project.
Khaled Abu Toameh is an award winning Arab and Palestinian Affairs journalist formerly with The Jerusalem Post. He is Senior Distinguished Fellow at the Gatestone Institute and a Fellow of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.
