As the Israel-Hamas conflict lurches on, there is a growing split between President Joseph Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu over the Israeli military campaign in Gaza and how to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian situation. Netanyahu publicly rejected the U.S. plans for a postwar Gaza governed by the Palestinian Authority and declared Israel will continue the war until Hamas is destroyed, even if they lose all international support.
What does this mean for the future of the Palestinians in Gaza and in the West Bank? How will the continued hostilities affect U.S.-Israel relations moving forward? Is there a path to a long term solution for peace between these warring actions and which actors can facilitate such a resolution?
To unpack these questions and chart a possible path to a resolution for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, we welcome distinguished professor Dr. Nathan Brown and Dr. Tahani Mustafa, Senior Palestine Analyst for the International Crisis Group, in conversation with esteemed journalist Richard Wolffe, columnist at The Guardian and managing director of Jose Andres Media, on Wednesday, January 10th, 4-5pm ET on Zoom.
