[ePalestine] PRI The World: The end of the two-state solution (8 mins)

The World
(A radio program heard each weekday on over 300 public stations across North America and consumed by almost 20 million people each month.)

The end of the two-state solution

Friday, November 22, 2019

This week's announcement by the Trump administration on Israeli settlements in the West Bank raises serious questions around the idea that has underlined negotiation talks between Israelis and Palestinians for decades. Are both peoples capable of living peacefully together as citizens of one united country? The World's host Marco Werman speaks with a Palestinian and a settler living in the West Bank.

Trump's Middle East Communications Theater

by Sam Bahour

"In what seems like another ill-fated attempt to address the failure of his efforts to date, the latest being his Peace to Prosperity economic workshop in Bahrain, Kushner and company seem willing to go to any extreme to force-feed the Trump administration's attempt to impose a surrender agreement on Palestinians rather than address the core issues head-on." ~Sam Bahour

[ePalestine] Guide for Journalists Reporting on the Palestinian Economy

GUIDE FOR JOURNALISTS REPORTING ON THE PALESTINIAN ECONOMY

(last updated Feb. 17, 2024)

Journalists from around the world are covering the Trump administration’s announcement of the June 25-26, 2019 “Peace to Prosperity” economic workshop in Bahrain. The nonexhaustive list below is provided to assist journalists to connect with representatives of various entities who can authoritatively speak about the Palestinian economy or the various aspects thereof. The information provided is all public information. Sadly, not all those listed have an English website and many may not speak English. Journalists are encouraged to engage translators where need be and not rely solely on sources who speak English, or who may be easily accessible.

+++

Journalists are strongly encouraged to purchase the decisive directory (English) on Palestine from PASSIA at any bookstore in Palestine.

See: http://passia.org/publications/category/6?sort_by=newest

Another excellent online English directory may be found at the website of the publication
