Polls report that West Bank Palestinians are extremely skeptical about a two-state solution with Israel, but in Gaza, support is practically non-existent. We’ll talk with Ezzeldeen Masri, director of the Gaza program for OneVoice. It’s a movement of Gazans who support and work for a two-state solution with Israel. They claim their movement is growing.

We’ll also talk with Ertharin Cousin (Earth-a-rin Cousin) of the U.N.’s World Food Program. Initially, she was trying to raise awareness of the desperate food shortage in the Central African Republic, but now she’s just as concerned about South Sudan.

Stuart Strahl is CEO and President of the Chicago Zoological Society, which runs Brookfield Zoo. Saving the elephant from extinction is his personal passion. He’ll talk with us about his cause and his work through the ‘96elephants’ campaign.

These Siaseh (or Politics) Cafés provide a forum wherein young Palestinians are able to debate their peers openly and evaluate decisions made by Palestinians leaders and the international community.
