One of the great things about working at the Brookings Institution---and there are many of them---is access to a remarkable range of people knowledgable about whatever happens to be going on in the world. One of the fun things about running this podcast is that I can put such people around a table, record our conversations, and bring it to an outside audience. This week, I asked three of my colleagues---all from the Brookings Center on Middle East Policy---to chat about Gaza: Natan Sachs is a specialist in Israeli politics; Khaled Elgindy has served as an advisor to the Palestinian leadership on final status negotiations; and Tamara Cofman Wittes directs the center and served as deputy assistant secretary of state during the Arab Spring. (She is also, by the way, married to someone somehow connected to this site.) It's a great discussion: informative, not shrill, depressing, yet constructive.
