Former Head of Shin Bet: Ami Ayalon on Israel vs Palestine - Jung & Naiv: Episode 839

Support our work ► http://www.paypal.me/JungNaiv Our guest is Ami Ayalon. He is a former commander of the Israeli Navy, former director of the Shin Bet (Israel's domestic intelligence service), and a former Labor Party member of the Knesset. Born in 1945, Ayalon became one of Israel’s most prominent security figures and later one of the most outspoken voices from within the Israeli security establishment arguing for a political solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. After leaving the Shin Bet, he co-initiated a joint Israeli-Palestinian peace proposal with Palestinian intellectual Sari Nusseibeh and has continued to speak publicly about occupation, security, democracy and the future of Israel. In this episode, Ami talks about his years in the military and intelligence services, the logic and moral cost of war, the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory, the war in Gaza, and why he believes Israel has failed to recognize its own victory. He discusses the failures of Israeli leadership, the need to understand one’s enemy, and why he argues that Israel’s long-term security depends on Palestinian freedom and a political horizon for both peoples.
