Dear MEPIN Readers,

Yesterday, I took part in a spirited debate on ILTV Insider alongside former AP Middle East chief Dan Perry and veteran journalist Ruthie Blum of JNS. Our discussion focused on the U.S. decision to impose a visa ban on Palestinians attending the upcoming UN General Assembly, Washington’s response to Europe’s unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state, without demanding any concessions or accountability from the Palestinian Authority in return.

Please share your thoughts. — Eric
