Join Jewish Currents, Just Vision, and the Institute for Middle East Understanding on Wednesday, March 11th at 2 pm ET/8 pm Jerusalem time for a virtual conversation on the so-called ceasefire in Gaza, during which Israeli forces have killed more than 600 Palestinians in the Strip. While proponents of the US-led peace plan frame it as a diplomatic breakthrough, experts warn that the resolution may codify a new form of externally imposed governance that sidelines Palestinian political agency.
In this virtual conversation, Palestinian journalists and policy experts will explore how Palestinians affected by the genocide in Gaza might leverage this fragile pause to demand accountability, rebuild their communities, and press for a just and rights-respecting future.
Featuring:
- Diana Buttu, member of Al-Shabaka Palestinian Policy Network, lawyer, and former PLO legal adviser
- Mohammed R. Mhawish, Palestinian journalist and writer from Gaza, currently living in exile
- Bushra Khalidi, Oxfam policy lead in the Occupied Palestinian Territory
- Sami Abu Salem, Gaza-based Palestinian journalist and safety trainer for the International Federation of Journalists
The event is free and open to all. A Zoom link will be provided upon registration.
