NAVIGATING THROUGH THE STORM TO THE HORIZON'S EDGE :

As the Middle East navigates a storm of unprecedented challenges, we stand at a pivotal juncture that will define the future of Israel, the Palestinians, and the entire region. As the world grapples with escalating conflict, understanding the core issues becomes vital. In this critical briefing, we will delve deep into the forces driving these turbulent times, unravel the intricate complexities beneath the surface, look at “the day after,” and assess the far-reaching implications for both the region, and the world. By connecting the dots between past and present and all figures and forces, we’ll guide you from the eye of the storm to the horizon’s edge, offering clarity and context to help you navigate the rapidly unfolding events.
The Middle East is a link of chains. What happens in one area impacts what happens in another. And what happens in the Middle East Does Not Stay in the Middle East. This briefing takes you beyond the headlines and behind the scenes for a holistic understanding of the layers of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We will zoom in and zoom out as we explore the Gaza Strip and the Middle East. How do domestic and regional events throughout history – until today – impact the Palestinians’ lives in Gaza and Israelis near and far from Gaza? What can be done to create a better reality for Israelis and Palestinians? This session is critical for anyone who wants to advance a constructive, productive, and sustainable framework that can improve the lives of Israelis and Palestinians
