A Different Kind of Pro-Palestinian Advocacy

The United States and Israel are at war with the Islamic Republic of Iran — an oppressive regime and the sponsor of countless acts of terror around the world, including the October 7th attacks.

But when this is over, the century-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict will remain.

My guest today grew up in Gaza. As a youth during the Second Intifada, he was injured by an Israeli airstrike. He's lost many friends and family members to war.

Yet Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib refuses to succumb to the vicious cycle of hatred and violence. As a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and the founder of Realign for Palestine, Ahmed is pursuing a different kind of pro-Palestinian advocacy: one that recognizes Palestinian agency and is committed to non-violence and radical pragmatism.

I hope you’ll tune in to hear — or watch — this important conversation wherever you get your podcasts.
