Why India is threatening Pakistan's water supply, plus the destruction of olive trees in the West Bank
About this episode
The episode discusses India's threat to Pakistan's water supply and the destruction of olive trees in the West Bank.
After a terror attack in Kashmir in 2025, India suspended a key water treaty between the nations, threatening to cut Pakistan’s water supplies off by building a series of hydro-electric dams which can divert water away from Pakistan. Pakistan has threatened nuclear retaliation if it goes ahead. Plus in the West Bank Israel has stepped up the bulldozing of olive groves, which the IDF claims is a security measure. Guests: Michael Kugelman, senior fellow for South Asia at the Atlantic Council, and writer of Foreign Policy magazine’s weekly South Asia Brief. Raja Shehadeh, Palestinian author, poet and human rights lawyer
