Specialists will provide analysis of the politics of the Middle East, political currents in IL, and CA relationship with the peace process.
The resource-rich Middle East and North Africa region is at a nadir following two tumultuous decades of localised crises, regional power struggles and interventions from abroad. Multiple shattered states and societies, from Libya to Syria, Yemen and Iraq, lie in their wake. Yet, one contested region, Israel and Palestine, remains central to regional peace and stability. It remains in as regressive and dangerous a state as ever, too.
This online seminar will explore the regional outlook of Israel, Palestine and the broader Middle East. It takes into consideration four years of the Trump administration siding firmly with the Netanyahu government in Israel, including support for de jure annexation of further Palestinian land.
