In this panel we look back at salient developments in the Middle East over the past century, from Sykes-Picot to the “Arab Spring and BDS, to see the deep impact they have had on Palestinian national aspirations. Panelists include Dr. Jenab Tutunji, Phyllis Bennis, Dima Khalidi, and Rami Khouri.
Panel I: Legacies of the British Mandate and the Changing U.S. Role in the Conflicts of the Middle East; Keynote Address: Ambassador Riyad Mansour; Panel II: Living with Israel’s Hegemony
On this panel, entitled “Palestine in Regional and International Politics,” speakers Manal Jamal, Fouad Moughrabi, and Yousef Munayyer discuss the context of the Palestinian situation at present, following the “Arab Spring” upheavals of the last few years, with a focus on the effects of regional politics on refugee populations in the Arab countries nearby. Panelists also consider international efforts in Palestine, like United Nations initiatives, the International Court, and US policy toward Israel and Palestine.
