Xavier Yvon: The intifada… the word inevitably evokes the Israeli-Palestinian conflict… and to explain it to us, I therefore called on the Middle East specialist at L’Express, Corentin Pennarearear, hi Corentin!
Corentin Pennarcar: Hello Xavier!
Xavier Yvon: “Intifada” is Arabic, what does it mean exactly?
Corentin Pennarcar: It is a term which means “uprising”, used in several Arab countries during moments of revolt: Lebanon, Iraq, or Tunisia in 2011 for example… but the word is especially associated with the 2 great Palestinian revolts against the Israeli occupation: the 1st and 2nd intifada.
