Three years after the horrific October 7 attacks, a British Jewish activist has spoken to Zeteo UK about her personal experience of that day, saying she watched with “horror” and “anticipation of things about to get much worse”.
In a wide-ranging interview for ‘The Real Question with Shehab Khan’, Hannah Weisfeld, the executive director and a founder of Yachad, a British Jewish organisation which works to push for a political resolution to the Israeli occupation of Palestine, described October 7 as a “cataclysmic moment” while also arguing there will be no lasting peace until there is an end to the occupation.
Weisfeld, who has long campaigned for a two-state solution, also discussed the upcoming elections in Israel.
Here are some other topics Shehab pressed Weisfeld on:
The impact of the far-right influence over the Israeli government
The use of the word “genocide”
Whether sanctions on Israel have any impact
The chances of a two-state solution
