A Problem with (the Palestinian) Authority: The PA and Mahmoud Abbas in the wake of Gaza
Manage episode 410774718 series 2923583
The Palestinian Authority (PA) has a new government and a new Prime Minister.
An exciting and yet highly challenging time for them; but for the Palestinian people, optimism for real change is low.
The Palestinian Authority has been in place since the 1990's, but satisfaction is low. There are systemic governance problems across Palestine, and the PA is no longer seen as the leaders of the liberation movement.
This week on The New Arab Voice, we look at the Palestinian Authority and the problems with governance in the wake of the brutal war on Gaza. What is the Palestinian Authority doing to end the violence and promote Palestinian liberty? How do Palestinians feel about the ruling authority? And is it time for reforms, and for President Abbas to step aside, or for the institution as a whole to be dissolved?
Joining us, we speak with Omar Rahman (@omarrahman), fellow at the Middle East Council on Global Affairs (@ME_Council), where he focuses on Palestine, Middle East geopolitics, and American foreign policy in the region.
Also, we speak with Obada Shtaya, the co-Founder and CEO of the Institute for Social and Economic Progress. Obada is a pollster and researcher, with interests in social psychology, political economy, and social movement theory.
