"Israel - Palestine: The Shift in Western Sentiment & Way Forward"

A panel discussion held via Zoom on 21 July 2021 on how recent months may have potentially led to a shift in western perception on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Our esteemed panelists explore how the Black Lives Matter Movement, social media, the end of the Trump administration and additionally the political dynamics within both Israeli and other Middle Eastern Countries political systems, including foreign policy, impacted and led to this shift. Also, panelists discuss where we were, where we are (the recent political developments in Israel, for instance) and where we are going (or should go) regarding the conflict.
