Fleur Hassan-Nahoum is Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem with an ambitious eye on the future.
Her flying visit to the UK gave us a chance to chat on Jonny Gould’s Jewish State for the second time.
Another year to go in office in Jerusalem, but will she stand for another term?
There’s a Likud government to be a part of - and given her unique background, what about becoming an ambassador?
She has strong diplomatic skills with her experience In Jerusalem in dealing with diverse communities.
And Fleur comes from Gibraltar with English and Spanish as mother tongues (she’s the daughter of Gib’s first ever Chief Minister).
Fleur also co-founded the UAE-Israel Business Council and we discuss the “baby steps” towards societal change in the conservative Arabian Gulf.
Let’s also have a sober talk about Smotrich and Ben Gvir, the extreme end of Netanyahu’s comeback government. What are they really about? Is Bibi actually the root to a more stable Israel?
Why has the deal with Hezbollah and Lebanon’s government over the Karish Gas Field got so many positives?
And what about Qatar, the World Cup, slavery and deaths - and the outside possibility that one day, they may be peace partners?
It’s all here.
Listen to another energetic episode with Fleur Hassan-Nahoum.
