On this year's podcast, you'll hear my unfiltered conversations with Gavin Newsom, the CEO of Palantir and Anthropic, and Erica Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk.

Listen to Dealbook Summit wherever you get your podcasts.

We are in the Rose Garden here at the United Nations.

I have beautiful memories here.

In September, 20 years straight.

For me, you know, I was working for these things from long time ago.

It feels very great.

We hope from the few days to come that the international community is making a turn, a turn where now having the state of Palestine a reality.

So we are marching in the direction of peace and justice.

I was born in Palestine, a child of a Palestinian refugee family.

And we lived in caves and in the valleys before Onorwa came to the picture.

I don't know exactly what in those days the idea of statehood was.

What was in our mind is we want to return to our towns, to our villages, to our homes.

Like the key for our house in Palestine, from the town where we were expelled from, was hanging inside the house.

So that's a symbol of returning to it.

And I was influenced by the thoughts of the moment.

It wasn't easy.

It was not popular.

But I was young.

And I was among the lucky ones to go to the United Nations to shake hands with Chairman Arafat after he gave his famous speech.
