December 7th, 10:30am-12 PM, United States Institute of Peace, 2nd Floor Conference Room, 1200 17th St, NW, Washington, D.C. 20036
For Israel, the question of peace with its neighbors has always touched on the most sensitive internal divides. As part of a USIP series focusing on domestic politics in Israel and its neighbors, a panel of esteemed experts will examine various levels of internal dynamics in Israel – from divides within Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's inner circle to fissures within Israeli society more broadly – and their impact on Israel's regional conflicts and its relationship with the United States.

The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Internal Challenges on the Road to Peace:
Certain 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.
