On this, the 30th anniversary of the Declaration of Principles signed on the White House Lawn, the highly esteemed scholar Daniel Pipes will talk about the colossal failure of the Oslo Accords, and what Israel finally needs to redeem its place among the nations. During this webinar, Daniel will also discuss his new book on “Israeli Victory” which is about to be released. Can Israel redeem itself from all the years of appeasement to the Palestinian Authority? Has it created a dynamic in which Israel appears to be the “guilty party”, despite the fact that Israeli interlocutors have made successive generous offers to the Palestinians, that they have consistently rejected? What is the prescription that Dr. Pipes recommends for Israeli survival amid all of the existential threats it is now facing from Iran, and from the various Iranian and Qatari-backed factions from within the territories?
