The attacks by Hamas on October 7, 2023, and the subsequent Israeli invasion of Gaza have resulted in more than 40,000 Palestinian deaths, the relocation of approximately 60,000 Israelis, and the dislocation of more than one million Lebanese. Fundamental questions of rights and justice remain unresolved, and negotiations have failed to produce a ceasefire, encouraging nonstate actors’ entry. What began as a local conflict now threatens to engulf the entire region. This webinar will consider possible futures for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

  • Samer Abdelrazzak, Head of Diplomatic and International Relations (Fatah shadow leadership) and Chair, Jerusalem Development Fund
