Dealing with the Devil(25:11)
|
VOI's Raoul Wootliff, sitting in for Gil Hoffman, explores the idea of diplomacy with enemies.
First, he hears from Matt Rees, co-author with Yehuda Avner of “The Ambassador” (The Toby Press, 2015). The book follows the Israeli ambassador to Nazi Germany after the fictional creation of the state of Israel in 1937. Rees explains the challenges faced by the protagonist as he struggles to negotiate with the devil.
Then, Raoul is joined by Yossi Ben Aharon, veteran Israeli diplomat and former director-general of the Foreign Ministry and Prime Minister’s Office, who shares his experience negotiating with Syria and his thoughts on the P5+1 negotiations with Iran.
