#33 Water as a Weapon and Other Israeli Environmental Crimes with Manal Shaqir

Podcast briefing

The podcast discusses Israel's historical appropriation of water resources from neighboring Arab countries, particularly Jordan, and the environmental and political implications of these actions.

In this episode, researcher Manal Shaqir explains how Israel has systematically stolen water from Arab nations, especially Jordan, since the 1950s. This has led to severe water shortages in Jordan, exacerbated by climate change and the influx of refugees. The discussion also touches on the 'Greenwashing' narrative used by Israel to divert attention from its environmental crimes.
