Is Israeli-Palestinian Peace Still Possible?

Is Israeli-Palestinian Peace Still Possible? - Dr. Gershon Baskin, Co-Chairman, Israel Palestine Center for Research and Information, hosted by J Street U, co-sponsored by Rockefeller Center at Dartmouth

2/13/2012
4:00 pm – 5:30 pm
Rockefeller 3
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Lectures & Seminars
Twenty years of peace processes between Israelis and Palestinians have proved futile. Irreconcilable differences clog the channels of diplomacy. The Palestinian house is divided into two separate regimes. A right-wing religious government rules Israel. The United States is occupied with the upcoming presidential election and Europe is focused on recovery from financial collapse, leaving Israel and Palestine alone to achieve peace. Can the two parties do it by themselves?

Founder and Chairman of the joint Israeli-Palestinian think tank, IPCRI (Israel Palestine Center for Research and Information), Dr. Gershon Baskin attempts to uncover the answers to these questions and discloses information about his role as initiator and conductor of the secret back channel of negotiations between the Government of Israel and the Hamas to free kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilead Schalit after more than five years in captivity.
