Episode notes

This is my second meeting with Richard and delighted to tell you it took place in Tel Aviv.

He's a regular visitor to Israel and gives generously of his time to so many people and institutions helping to make the country stronger.

Our trips to Israel coincided and he graciously made time to sit down with me amid his many engagements.

There have been two significant, perhaps gamechanging events since we first met in September 2019; Donald Trump's much anticipated Deal Of The Century was launched and the US assassinated Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani.

Can the Palestinians be persuaded to stop saying “a thousand times, no?”

Could Iran’s proxies continue their retaliation against America and its allies - including Israel? We hear Richard’s take on both.

Plus listen for his extraordinary meeting with two IDF soldiers, both Muslim Arabs.

He unpacks the huge personal sacrifices they've made, why they enlisted in the first place and the impact it’s had on their lives in East Jerusalem.
