In this Q&A section, Strauss addresses the forces shaping Israel’s future, from political divisions within the country to changing international support and the resilience of the US-Israel alliance. He considers Palestinian identity and displacement, the treatment of refugees across the region, and the rise of antisemitism on American college campuses. Historical experience suggests that ethnic conflicts rarely end quickly or without painful concessions. Any path toward peace will depend on political leadership, outside powers, and stronger ties between Israelis and Palestinians.
