About the Webinar
Arab Center Washington DC is convening a panel of experts to discuss the recently announced ceasefire and hostage exchange agreement between Israel and Hamas, its prospects and challenges, the role of the United States and the Trump Administration, and implications for Palestine/Israel and for the region.
What factors prompted Hamas and Israel to agree at this time? What role did President-elect Trump play in pushing the deal forward? What does the ceasefire agreement entail and how can we assess its prospects? What role will the Trump Administration have to play in its implementation and after the first phase? What will be the Trump Administration’s position toward Israel and Palestine in general? What are the implications of this ceasefire agreement for Gaza in particular and Palestinians more broadly? What fallout might there be in Israeli politics and in the region at large?
