Mohamad Bakarat & Corinne Cliford on The Freeman Report with James Freeman - 17 April 2024

GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: Mohammed Barakat is a a second generation Palestinian living in Jerusalem. What is the situation in Gaza and the West Bank? What is the context we need to understand from a Palestinian viewpoint? What is the outlook for the future for the Palestinians? There are more perspectives than the Hamas and IDF view. Like my former Israeli-german guest Nirit Sommerfeld Mohammed Barakat has a lot of experience in explaining Palestine and the situation of the Palestinians to foreigners. He is a a second generation Palestinian living in Jerusalem. He was an eyewitness of the six day war in 1967 before he graduated from high school, married and became father of 5 children. Later on he was a member of the executive committee of the trade union in the West Bank and the general federation of trade unions before he started to work for "Green Olive Tours“, explaining and discussing the cultural and political situation of the Palestinians to foreign tourists.
