The Nature of the Ottoman City: Water and Urban Space in Sofia, 1380s–1910s

‘The Board of Peace’ Or ‘Broker of Deceit’ | Palestine This Week
In this episode of Palestine This Week, we begin with Jared Kushner’s meetings with Hamas political leader Khalil Al-Hayya and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, asking what the talks mean for the future of the Gaza ceasefire.

We also look at changes to Saudi school textbooks, including the removal of the phrase “Muslims will never give up Jerusalem”. The episode also looks at settler violence in the occupied West Bank and US Ambassador Mike Huckabee’s decision to describe Israeli settlers as “terrorists” after American citizens were besieged by Israeli settlers. Finally, we discuss a false quotation […]
