Show Notes

On March 2nd, two men – one Israeli and one Palestinian – stood on the stage of the Academy Awards in LA and accepted an Oscar for their documentary ‘No Other Land’. Basel Adra and Yuval Abraham spent four years filming Israel’s forced displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank region. Their documentary was recorded before the war in Gaza, but highlights a reality that Palestinian communities have faced for decades. Life in the West Bank has become significantly more dangerous since Israel launched its Iron Wall operation just days after a the January ceasefire took hold in Gaza. What is the aim and justification of Israel’s Iron Wall operation? And with settler violence on the rise, is Israel working towards a formal annexation of the region?

Hanno Hauenstein, a Berlin-based journalist, discusses his years reporting reporting rom the West Bank for the Israeli-Palestinian +972 Magazine.
