A cooperation with the Candid Foundation
WHAT EUROPEANS CAN DO TO STRENGTHEN THE PEACE CAMP IN
ISRAEL AND PALESTINE
Introduced and moderated by Martin Staudinger
Despite the ongoing war and political upheaval, Israeli and
Palestinian, voices advocating for peace remain vital and
resilient, offering alternative narratives and strategies for
peaceful co-existence. While faced with increasing polarization
and shrinking civic and political spaces, committed academics,
political analysts and media professionals remain dedicated to
fostering dialogue and a long-term peaceful solution to the
conflict.
This panel brings together leading Israeli and Palestinian
experts that will share insights from their peace work on the
ground as well as their analyses on the current political
developments in the Middle East, the unpredictable role of the US
and the importance of a strong European stance in supporting a
just political settlement to the conflict.
This event is part of the EPICON European-Palestinian-Israeli
Trilateral Dialogue, implemented by the Candid Foundation in
cooperation with the Kreisky Forum.
