The One State Reality: What is Israel/Palestine? (Cornell University Press,2023), edited by Michael Barnett, Nathan J. Brown, Marc Lynch and Shibley Telhami, argues that a one state reality already predominates in the territories controlled by Israel and that current facts on the ground force a reconsideration of foundational concepts such as state, sovereignty and nation. Bringing together leading scholars to explore essential questions, The One State Reality is a catalyst for new thinking about future solutions to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Please join us at the Middle East Institute for an in-person discussion with editors, Michael Barnett and Shibley Telhami, moderated by Laura Rozen, editor of the Diplomatic newsletter.

The moderated discussion will be followed by a reception. Books will be available for purchase.
