In this edition of FMEP’s podcast series “Occupied Thoughts” Peter Beinart interviews author and historian Seth Anziska, whose recently published book “Preventing Palestine: A Political History from Camp David to Oslo” takes a fresh look at why the plan for a viable Palestinian state did not come to be – and how the events surround the Oslo accords continues to define the current prospects for the fulfillment of Palestinian national ambitions.

Seth Anziska is the Mohamed S. Farsi-Polonsky Lecturer in Jewish-Muslim Relations at University College London and a visiting fellow at the U.S./Middle East Project. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, Foreign Policy, and Haaretz. He lives in London.
