Host Noam Weissman turns to history for grounding—specifically, the overlooked story that helped shape the modern Middle East. In this episode, Noam revisits the pivotal but often misunderstood 1916 Sykes-Picot Agreement and the far more important 1920 San Remo Conference. Through conversations with experts and reflections on conversations with friends like Ahmed Fouad Alkatib, Noam explores why Sykes-Picot became a popular scapegoat—and why San Remo is the real foundation for Israel's existence today.
