Endast inbjudna

The Middle East peace process has stalled since President Trump’s decision last year to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital led Palestinians to withdraw from negotiations. While the Trump administration is developing its own plan for Israeli-Palestinian peace, the EU remains committed to the two-state solution. This seminar will discuss the present impasse in the Middle East peace process, its broader international context, and possible ways for the EU to revive it and to contribute to a negotiated solution.
