Looking Back in Order to Find A Way Forward: Expert Views on Israel and the Occupied Territories
Another high-intensity escalation between Hamas and Israel has left a staggering number of Israelis and Palestinians dead. Conditions in Gaza continue to deteriorate, and the humanitarian crisis grows increasingly dire.

How did we get here and what can be done now? Join us at Carnegie to discuss the unfolding situation.
