Join us for an online discussion featuring former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Palestinian National Authority Nasser Al-Kidwa, who will analyze why the Oslo Accords failed and discuss what can be done today to restart the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
Ehud Olmert served as Prime Minister of the State of Israel from 2006 to 2009, making the establishment of a peace agreement with the Palestinians his priority. He served in the Knesset from 1973 to 2009 and was twice elected to be the Mayor of Jerusalem from 1993 to 1998. In 2008, he proposed a peace agreement with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on the basis of a two-state solution.
Nasser Al-Kidwa is a prominent member of the Palestinian political party Fatah, a member of the Palestinian National Council (PNC), and the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Palestinian National Authority. In 2021, Al-Kidwa founded the National Democratic Assembly and headed the “Freedom” list for the Palestinian elections that were arbitrarily canceled.
