He recalls how Jerusalem was a hub for the Arab world with flights to all over the region from the former Jerusalem International Airport at Qalandia, now better known as the site of the Israeli checkpoint between the northern West Bank and Jerusalem. In a wide-ranging podcast he addresses the complexities and challenges of a two-state solution, the international community’s solution to the Middle East problem.
