CONFERENCE: Peace with Justice – how to get there

Read about the conference in Middle East Eye and The National​

The people of Gaza have been subjected to a level of death, injury and destruction surpassing all previous cycles of violence, and now face man-made famine. The West Bank is locked down, its economy at a standstill, while settler violence goes unpunished. The people of Israel suffer from the lasting horror of the 7 October Hamas attack, their fear for the hostages still captive, and the wider regional threat. Despite a growing international consensus pressing for an end to the conflict, the dreadful prospect of further escalation in Gaza is real.

On 6 June, in partnership with the History Dept of King’s College London, we brought together a range of speakers with ideas on the pathways out of this dreadful calamity towards Peace with Justice for both peoples. Palestinians provided eye-witness accounts, insight and fresh thinking; other speakers covered the regional and international context.
