The recent escalation in the Middle East has demonstrated that the unresolved conflict between Israel and the Palestinians continues to be life-threatening for all people in the region. It also demonstrated the complexity of the situation with multiple actors involved and the fragility of Israeli society: multicultural yet not free from discrimination. Now that the reality on the ground has demolished any illusion of a comfortable status-quo for Israelis – what are the options to move forward in the region? We will discuss those issues with our guests and Members of the European Parliament.

Confirmed speakers:

• Ksenia Svetlova, Middle East Expert, Member of the Knesset 2015-19
• Richard Chaim Schneider, Author and Journalist

This discussion is hosted by MEP Reinhard Bütikofer and MEP Sergey Lagodinsky with the support of the Greens/EFA Group in the European Parliament.
