Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to be sworn in as Israel’s 15th prime minister in
the coming days. Israel’s government, which is expected to be the most right-wing
in the country’s history, has raised questions about the role the United States 
should play, if any, in what could be a high-consequence and volatile year for Israelis
and Palestinians.

But before we can begin to think about America’s current role, we wanted to explore
what role the United States has played historically in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Has the United States always been an ardent supporter of Israel? Has it ever taken
meaningful steps to help de-escalate the conflict? In this week’s bonus [episode](https://www.noneoftheabovepodcast.org/episodes/s4epbonus),
Institute for Global Affairs research fellow and guest host [Zuri Linetsky](https://twitter.com/zurilinetsky)
sits down with historian [Rashid Khalidi](https://history.columbia.edu/person/khalidi-rashid/)
to unpack over a century of American relations with Palestine and Israel.
