In this bonus segment from Frontlines & Backrooms, historian Benny Morris addresses a fundamental question at the heart of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict:

When did Palestinians lose faith that Israel would ever allow a sovereign Palestinian state — and why?

Morris traces the historical moments, political decisions, and structural realities that led many Palestinians to conclude that the promise of a two-state solution was no longer viable.
This short segment focuses on the breaking point — when hope turned into deep skepticism, and negotiations into disbelief.

This bonus is part of Episode 1 of Frontlines & Backrooms.
