In our third episode, join Lara as she speaks to Dr Dalal Iriqat to discuss whether there can be a diplomatic path to the end of the genocide in Palestine. Dr Iriqat is an Assistant Professor of Diplomacy and an expert in conflict resolution, who has published significant literature regarding the political future of Palestine.

In this episode Lara and Dalal cover a variety of themes and topics, including the occupation of Palestine as the root cause of the current genocide, apartheid and annexation; the reasons for including all actors in the path towards a peaceful and sustainable agreement and the dangerous language around humanitarian aid and dependency.

Join Lara and Dalal as Dalal talks about the conversations that she had with policy makers and politicians while she was in the UK.
