Israeli journalist Gideon Levy recently wrote a piece for 'Haaretz' titled 'Israel didn't want quiet', criticising Israeli authorities for the treatment of the Palestinians and recent incident at Al Aqsa mosque, and assessing that Israel 'didn't want quiet' but the opposite. In an interview with N1, the awarded journalists explains where do Israel, Palestine and the Middle East stand today.

Speaking to N1's Esmir Milavic, Levy commented on a potential takeover of the National Guard by one of the most radical politicians in Israel Itamar Ben-Gvir. He argued that, if that happens, it will be his private police. However, the journalist deems that this is not likely to happen and other agencies will not allow it.

According to him, Ben-Gvir and his party would be labelled as neo-Nazi if they were in Europe, and they would be illegal in most parts of Europe.

As for the situation in Palestine, Levy said that the authorities there lost the popularity among the Palestinians an, according to him, the current generation of the Palestine's leadership will take them nowhere.

Levy also spoke about a potential meeting between Israeli and Palestinian leaders as well as about his impression of Sarajevo in 1993 and then again a decade later.
