US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Israel last week for the second time during his watch as President Biden’s top diplomat, ten months after his first trip to Jerusalem. Last year, his mission was to help reach and preserve a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, with Egyptian mediation. This time he celebrated Israel’s growing acceptance into the Middle East by Arab countries from the Gulf to North Africa. But what does that mean for the long-stalled peace process between Jerusalem and Ramallah? Is it going to stay dormant, because life can very well go on without it, or conversely, will it soon be restarted, in order to assure stability in this part of the region?
To analyze it, we are joined in the studio by Col. (Ret.) Dr. Eran Lerman, Co-host TV7 Middle East Review, Powers-in-Play Panelist, JISS VP and Editor in Chief of the Jerusalem Strategic Tribune, and Amir Oren, TV7 Editor at Large, Host of TV7 Watchmen Talk & Powers in Play.
