“So many people pin their hopes about Palestine as being a beacon that would impact the area as a whole for how to rebuild the political structures in the Arab world.”
In a conversation with Mohamed Hassan, Israeli historian Ilan Pappe breaks down the process of the “disintegration” of Israel and the decolonisation of Palestine through different elements including the “growing international isolation” of Israel, the “distancing of young Jews from Israel as an idea”, as well as Israel’s economic crisis.
Pappe described the faith many people have that the decolonisation of Palestine would be a “better model of success” in restructuring politics and political institutions in the region.
