In this episode, Dana El Kurd examines what we know about the new 20 point peace plan for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, presented by President Trump. This plan helped facilitate a ceasefire in Gaza in the short term, but has dangerous limitations that will impact its success in the long term. This episode outlines the issues with this plan, with comparisons to other conflict resolution mechanisms around the world.
