Former Israeli adviser Daniel Levy says Israel’s dehumanization of Palestinians is blocking peace efforts in Gaza.
Despite Western and Arab efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza, Israel shows no interest in reaching an agreement, says former Israeli government adviser Daniel Levy.
Levy, president of the US/Middle East Project, told host Steve Clemons that Israelis are aware of the atrocities they are committing in Gaza, but the total dehumanization of Palestinians – coupled with the desire to dispossess them of their lands and their human rights – blocks any chance of progress.
The result for Israel, Levy argues, is an Israel that will not be accepted in the region, even if some Arab governments “normalize” relations.
