CrossTalk is a TV debate experience which presents hot-topic discussions on politics, business, newsmakers, global trends, present-day conflicts, and dangers and challenges facing our world. Host Peter Lavelle poses hard, straightforward questions to his guests, and demands concrete answers in response.
Peace illusion
Trump’s peace plan claims victory and closure. This is an illusion. There is no victory and the root causes are not being addressed. If anything, this is merely a pause. Stated differently, the Trump plan has no political solution to bring peace. CrossTalking with Sarah Leah Whitson, Elijah J. Magnier, and Dr. Ghada Karmi.
Spectacle over substance?
Trump got what he wanted – a public relations spectacle in Israel and Egypt. World leaders celebrated him. Will this be translated into peace and the creation of a Palestinian state? This remains to be seen. Promises have been made; will they be kept? CrossTalking with Michael Scheuer, Anthony Aguilar, and Ramzy Baroud.
CrossTalk Bullhorns: Peacemakers, really?
Has the definition of the word ‘peace’ changed recently? Will the Trump peace plan actually lead to peace in Palestine? Then there is the Nobel Peace Prize. Did the Nobel Committee just green-light Trump’s regime-change war on Venezuela? CrossTalking with George Szamuely and Mark Sleboda.
Ceasefire, maybe
Has Gaza’s two-year genocidal nightmare come to an end? Given what we know about the announced ceasefire, it is impossible to say. A ceasefire is not the same as a peace plan. Once there is the exchange of captives, will all bets be off? CrossTalking with Ismail Patel, Marwa Osman, and Romana Rubeo.
Another ruse?
As we absorb the meaning and implications of Trump’s ‘peace plan,’ it is important to point out that what may look like peace is actually more occupation. Instead of peace, the plan highlights the pacification of Gaza and continued denial of Palestinian self-determination. CrossTalking with Stanley L. Cohen, Jenin Younes, and Ali Rizk.
CrossTalk Bullhorns: Beginning of the end?
The Gaza Peace Plan – is it the beginning of the end or is it deja vu all over again? Also, the European elites have a deadly case of war fever. Will they succeed in getting Trump on board CrossTalking with George Szamuely and Mark Sleboda.
