The New Israeli Government and Implications for Peace with the Palestinians
The New Israeli Government and Implications for Peace with the Palestinians
After years of unstable governments and many elections that yielded shaky coalitions and short-term tenures, Israel elected the most right-wing government in modern Israeli history.
We will focus on the new Israeli government policies. Also examined will be what these policies mean for peace prospects and relations with the US and Arab states. Is the two-state solution officially dead? What does that mean for Israel, Palestine, and US-Israeli relations? Join a lecture and discussion with Middle east expert Dr. Baher Ghosheh.
