After visiting the West Bank, the group of public figures known as "The Elders” has concluded that Israel “aims to make Palestine disappear physically, economically, culturally and politically”. Mary Robinson, former president of the Republic of Ireland and one of the leading members of The Elders, tells host Steve Clemons that the delegation was “shocked” at how the situation has deteriorated since 2023. “It starts with hate speech, clear talk about Jewish supremacy and annexation of the West Bank,” says Robinson, adding that the Israeli government affords “complete impunity” for settlers and soldiers grabbing land and disrupting the lives of Palestinians across the territory. #westbank #palestine #gaza #israel #settlercolonialism #aljazeera #aljazeeraenglish
