For Beyond 50's "History" talk, listen to an interview with Anthony David. He'll talk about the secret friendship of Ruth Dayan (Israeli military leader Moshe Dayan's wife), now 98, and Palestinian journalist Raymonda Tawil (Yasser Arafat's mother-in-law), now 75. Behind the scenes, these women brokered meeting after meeting between Israeli and Palestinian leader along with the story of their extraordinary and turbulent lives growing up in a war-torn country. By telling their stories and following their budding relationship, which began shortly after the Six-Day War in 1967, you'll learn about the behind the-scenes, undisclosed history of the Middle East's most influential leaders from two prominent women on either side of the ongoing conflict. Their story of friendship humanizes a volatile conflict and finds hope for the possibility for peace and reconciliation.
