Webinar: From This Current Moment to Two States

The devastation wrought in Israel-Palestine since October 7 - the horrific Hamas terror attacks on Israelis, an ongoing brutal war that has taken tens of thousands of civilian lives in Gaza, the fear, uncertainty, and hopelessness across both societies - it is near-impossible to imagine a peaceful day-after.

But there will be a day-after, and it must include a plan to ensure an equitable and just future. Not just deterring Hamas, but also creating a long-term, stable, and just plan, allowing for sovereignty and self-determination for Palestinians and Jews, with an independent Palestinian state alongside a Jewish one.

To speak further to what this future could look like, what the current obstacles are, and how we can actively work toward creating such a future, Please join us on Sunday, December 10 at 1pm EST/10am PST in conversation with Palestinian political analyst, Khalil Sayegh.
