Settlements vs. Security – Why Addressing Settlements is Critical to Next Steps in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict


12:00 - 2:00 PM EDT

Given recent developments in Israel and the Palestinian territories and efforts to ease conditions and work toward a political horizon, Sasson and General Paz offer a uniquely Israeli perspective on what is most needed on the ground, what is possible, and how it might work. There are few people with such expertise, seniority, and hands-on experience from within the Israeli system. We hope you can join us.

Featured Speakers:

Brigadier General (Ret.) Ilan Paz, Former head of the Israeli Civil Administration in the West Bank (2002-2005).

Talia Sasson, Legal adviser to Prime Minister Sharon on settlements and illegal outposts and author of the definitive and far-reaching “Sasson Report” on the issues of settlements, outposts, and law enforcement in the Palestinian territories.

Introduction by:
Daniel Levy, Senior Fellow, The Century Foundation, adviser, Middle East Progress

Moderated by:
Mara Rudman, Senior Fellow, Center for American Progress, adviser, Middle East Progress
