Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Will the War in Gaza Really End?
Q: Shira, I wanted to go back to you and ask you a question about Israeli politics.
Shira highlighted how the ceasefire represents a defeat of Netanyahu's government's vision and contradicts their promises of total victory over Hamas.
Will the War in Gaza Really End?
Q: I'd like to know whether each of you thinks that within one year, Hamas and Israel will be back at war. Are the odds greater than 50 percent or less than 50 percent?
All three experts believe there is less than a 50 percent chance that Israel and Hamas will return to war within the next year.
America’s Two-State Delusion
Q: What would have been the right way to approach the Israeli-Palestinian issue during the Clinton administration?
Malley reflects that perhaps the pursuit of a two-state solution was a mistake. If he were advising President Clinton, he would emphasize the need to take control of the negotiations earlier and recognize that this was a priority that required substantial political capital.
The World That Tariffs Will Make
Q: Do you see any sign that this new response to China's intransigence on that front will be more effective?
There is more coherence among the international response to China's economic practices than in previous years, but it remains to be seen if these efforts will lead to substantial change.
The World That Tariffs Will Make
Q: What do you think the critiques of the old system were accurate?
Critiques indicated that there was insufficient attention to how economic interactions create winners and losers and that the benefits of globalization were not shared equally.
