how the Israeli Defense Forces are responsible

and you don't talk about the broader context, right, you are

absolutely not understanding what's happening

- Today on Big Think, we're gonna be talking to Ian Bremmer,

and GZERO Media about the ongoing conflict

Ian, thank you so much for joining us today.

- This region has been embroiled in turmoil for thousands

But I would like to know from your standpoint,

is it more helpful to focus on recent history

- Both the Jews and the Palestinians have long,

long running and legitimate claims to live

The Jews had lived on these territories for millennia,

and a number of empires have kicked them off.

There are people that are far more expert on those histories

than I am, but the reality is that for the Jews

and the Palestinians that are fighting over this land today,

they've been living there for their lifetimes and,

and so it's really not about who has a right

And what has happened over the past years is that

everyone in the world has basically given up

because they've tried for decades, it's too hard or

they have other things that they would rather do.

who are not an honest broker for peace in the region,

the United States, a principle ally in the entire Middle East

So you can't say, "Oh, well, you know, they're the ones

that can broker peace between Israel and the Palestinians,

That's not true. But they do have the dominant military

presence in the region, and they also have the dominant

that have played the most significant role.

And the last time an American senior diplomat was

really invested on trying to figure out a way to bring peace

to this region was when John Kerry was Secretary of State

And he did shuttle diplomacy between the Israelis,

the Palestinians, the Jordanians, the Egyptians, I mean,

He wanted a Nobel Peace Prize for it. He failed.

And after that, basically the Americans gave up.

It was no longer focusing as much on the Middle East.

And then when the Russians invade Ukraine, it's

But no one's spending real time on the Palestinians,

the Gulf States, who had been providing so much money

for Palestinians living in the West Bank,

and particularly Gaza, as well as refugees in other places

that they were saying there could be no peace

in the Middle East unless the Palestinian-Israel

to engage open diplomatic relations, allow Jewish tourists

and investment, technology cooperation, security cooperation.

Netanyahu-led government has been willing to not only

expand illegally, the settlements in the West Bank, reducing

the territory that the Palestinians can live on,

and making it harder for them to get to work, go to school,

you know, have a possibility for a viable future.

But also, Netanyahu's government was engaging more

because they never wanted to pursue a two-state solution.

So they forgot about the Palestinians too.
