About Global Reboot
Every day, experts from around the globe present their arguments for solving the world’s biggest problems. And every day, these experts disagree in small and large ways. At Foreign Policy, our approach is to share a wide range of opinions, side by side, day by day. But what if people could hear those arguments tested in real time, under pressure from an opposing view—by an international cast of diplomats, journalists, academics, and activists? That’s the idea behind Counterpoint, FP’s debate-style podcast. Each episode pits two experts on opposing sides of one key question. Should the United Kingdom rejoin the European Union? Are tariffs the right approach? Is Western aid helping or harming Africa? Some say yes, some say no, and the path forward might just be in the in-between. Counterpoint is a production of Foreign Policy, in partnership with the Doha Forum.

I think in that I said there was a slight chance. I think that there were others in town who were much more enthusiastic about the idea that the Abraham Accords returned to some sort of two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians. Then, of course, there was the idea that this would open up trade. and development. And it has, it hasn't been, you know, overwhelming. […]
