September 29th @ 9:00am at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Choate Room,
1779 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Washington, D.C. 20036
Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad's government is midway through an ambitious two-year plan to build the necessary infrastructure for a viable Palestinian state. One-year on, our panelists assess its progress. Are Palestinian institutions approaching readiness for statehood? What obstacles exist to progress on the ground? How does the state-building track align with the negotiating track, and what are the challenges or opportunities presented by the coinciding one-year goal for completion of direct peace talks? This panel will discuss what is still needed for Palestinian state-building to succeed, and whether it can be accomplished in the upcoming year.
This event, co-sponsored with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, marks the launch of a new U.S. Institute of Peace series on The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Internal Challenges on the Road to Peace.
Speakers:
Howard Sumka, U.S. Agency for International Development
Nathan Brown, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
Neil Kritz, U.S. Institute of Peace
Ghaith Al-Omari, American Task Force on Palestine
Lucy Kurtzer-Ellenbogen, ModeratorU.S. Institute of Peace
About the Series:
The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Internal Challenges on the Road to PeaceCertain domestic Israeli and Palestinian concerns—from state institution-building and secular-religious divides, to coalition politics and educational reform—have strong implications for the broader conflict, and for international efforts towards a peaceful resolution. Through a series of panels and related publications over the course of the year, USIP will explore such critical yet oft-neglected internal dynamics.
