In an extensive interview with journalist Sarah Helem for Middle East Eye, Israeli author Yaakov Sharett reflects on his regrets regarding the Zionist project and its impact on Palestinian communities.
Sharett, the son of Moshe Sharett, Israel's first foreign minister and second prime minister, discusses the historical context of the Negev region and the displacement of Arab villagers during the 1948 Nakba.
He shares insights into his family's early Zionist aspirations, the harsh realities faced by early settlers, and the psychological burden of living as a minority in a land with a significant Arab population.
