joining me now is the secretary of state antony blinken. welcome, mr. secretary. thanks, fareed. it is great to be with you. president biden says now that there is a cease-fire in between the israelis and palestinians, there is a significant opportunity for even more positive developments. a genuine opportunity if i m quoting him correctly. and i m wondering is there really, you have an israeli government that seems pretty unyielding and a palestinian authority led by an 85-year-old man who doesn t is too scared to hold elections for fear of what will happen. hamas controls gaza. is there really a prospect of some kind of movement towards a genuine political solution? fareed, i think there has to be. i think both sides are reminded that we have to find a way to break the cycle. because if we don t, it will repeat itself at great cost and at great human suffering on all sides.
karabell and dan senor. and we ll explore why the arctic may be the next great region of global discord. but first here is my take. it has been the same way for decades. every time violence between the israelis and palestinians erupts, governments around the world urge de-escalation and a cease-fire agreement is reached and experts warn the situation cannot continue like this. but it has and it will. ultimately, this is not a problem that could be resolved through power, whether political or military, it could only be resolved through moral persuasion. the pattern of violence obscured a seismic shift that has taken place over the last few decades. israel is now the superpower of the middle east. an institute at a university recently laid out the disparities.

of mass expulsion of palestinians, more than 700,000. israel has continued to expel palestinians from their homes and from their homeland ever since it was created. so as you might imagine, the eviction of palestinians from homes cuts very deep for palestinians and it is critical to remember that palestinian like palestinian in gaza are not citizens of the country that controls their life. that means they are essentially powerless over the decisions that are made about them and that is why palestinian could be evicted from homes in a way that could never be done to jews in israel because they don t have the right to be a citizen of the country in which you live. dan, i want to give you a quick i quick response and then we have to go to a break. okay, i just want to be clear. israeli governments, left center and right have been committed to a two-state solution. agree that palestinians do not
