Adviser to the President of the Palestinian Authority - Husam Zomlot

The Interview

Available for over a year

What does the Trump era mean for the Palestinian dream of statehood? For years the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been stuck, condemned to repeat itself year in, year out. But now something has changed – the two protagonists remain deaf to each other’s demands – but there's a new US president who seems to care little for Washington's long established quest for a two state solution. Does the Trump era signal the end for Palestinian hopes of statehood? Husam Zomlot, Senior Adviser to the Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, talks to Stephen Sackur.
