Now serving as the head of the PLO mission in the United Kingdom, Dr. Husam Zomlot provides updates on the latest political and diplomatic developments, and discusses whether the Palestinian leadership still believes that a peace settlement is possible, and if so, how.
This panel features speakers Ali Abunimah, Dr. Alon Ben-Meir, Dr. Abdel Razza Tikriti, who discuss the occupation, historically and in the present, as well as human rights issues and violations.
In the summer of 2015 reports surfaced that Israel and the Palestinian Authority were set to sign an agreement on releasing the long awaited frequencies required for Third and perhaps even Fourth Generation (3G and 4G) systems and services. By November, those plans were reportedly still going ahead.
Palestinians have taken to the streets to demonstrate against nearly 50 years of military rule and the denial of their freedom at the hands of Israel. These protests come after the death of the peace process, the election of a right-wing Israeli government that has stated it has no intention of granting Palestinians their rights, and growing discontent with the unelected Palestinian Authority (PA).
