When people ask me who are some of the most inspiring people I have interviewed; this conversation for The 51 Percent in November 2023 with #JaneGoodall will always stand out.
Thank you Dr Goodall for all you did and for everything you stood for. And for expressing common sense.

Since 1967, Israel has never allowed international armed peace-keeping troops into the West Bank and Gaza.
If it does now, under US pressure, it would be major rewriting of Israeli red lines.
I'm still very sceptical, but if the US wants it it would happen.
