Former Israeli Negotiator Daniel Levy Acknowledges Palestinian Right of Return
The British-Israeli political analyst and former negotiator, Daniel Levy, has acknowledged the right of return for Palestinians who were forced out of their homeland during the Nakba in 1948.
Levy is a political commentator and author. He was an adviser in Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak's office and a negotiator as part of the Taba summit and Oslo 2 peace process.
Currently, Levy serves as the President of the US/Middle East Project (USMEP), a non-profit policy institute focusing on the situation in Palestine-Israel, as well as broader dynamics and conflicts in MENA/West Asia.
He was also the head of the Middle East and North Africa program at the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) and worked as an analyst with the International Crisis Group.
In an interview with Al Jazeera English, Daniel Levy shared his perspective on the right of return for Palestinians who were forcibly displaced in 1948.
'I do not think that as someone who never came from that part of the world. My family escaped. One on my mother's side escaped the Holocaust. My father's side from Eastern Europe. How can I possibly have the right to go and live there, if someone indigenous to that land whose family was driven from there does not have that right?' Levy said.
