Israel’s “Enlightened” occupation was the brainchild of Moshe Dayan. But Likud's 'revolutionary' 1977 election victory changed that.
In this interview, we discuss the following:
►Why was Israel's 1967 victory "cursed'?
►What id Mosheh Dayan mean by an "invisibl occupation"?
►How did the Likud Party's 1977 election victory change the Occupation? ►Did Israel draw lessons from past occupations in history? Or did it start the occupation process from a blank slate? ►Why did Israel unilaterally withdraw from Gaza in 2005? ►And how did Israel handle Hamas in its process of leaving Gaza? ►What is Dr. Bregman's prescription for Israel's future relations with Palestinians? 🚩About my guest:
Dr. Ahron Bregman is a senior teaching fellow in the Department of War Studies at King's College London with research interests in The Arab Israeli Conflict, The Middle East Peace Process and Security Issues in the Middle East.
