    Israel-Palestine Series

    Keynote Event

    The Ever Vanishing Horizon toward a Just Peace in Israel and Palestine

    What might a just peace look like for Israelis and Palestinians? Out of the many options that have been proposed over the decades—one-state, two-state, bi-national confederation, international peacekeeping missions—what seems most likely in the foreseeable future? Is an absence of war our last best hope, or can we keep hope alive for enduring peace that reconciles between the two peoples? Our Israel-Palestine event series concludes with another conversation with David Myers and Hussein Ibish about the range of futures for the region: the ideal, the possible, and the probable.
