The Visionary
The future, and what is barely possible, reads round the next corner.
Husam Zomlot is a Palestinian ambassador who passionately advocates for the rights and future of his people. This interview reveals his optimistic vision for a peaceful resolution and his commitment to mobilizing support for Palestinian statehood.
“I don't know where did you get that from. The original charter? Who sent it to you? And we are not talking about this. Hamas or any other Palestinian faction, they must be part of our national institutions. How can we not talk about it?”
“We have to be consistent here. So when I say Palestinian refugees, all refugees who have a righteous claim. Now, my father was born in Rafah refugee. I'm sorry, I was born in Rafah refugee camp, and me and my father are only 40 minutes away from his original town.”
“No, I'm not. I'm not, but many Israeli newspapers, very good investigative reports came out to say that many of those people, particularly the civilians, were bombarded by their own military. Please go back to Haaretz and reports. This is not the conversation here.”
“So, you want to look at the big brother here in this equation. The superstructure that is the cause of all this, rather than just the symptoms, you see what this conversation. And then since the seventh, okay, Israelis say 1,200 people were killed by Hamas. Some reports say they were killed, many of them killed by their own military.”
