Revitalizing Palestinian Nationalism
Thu, September 7th, 2017
Beirut, Lebanon
Fifty years after the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, repeated efforts to negotiate a two-state solution have faltered, and the traditional instruments of Palestinian nationalism face crises of confidence. While the current path is likely to lead to continued occupation, settlement expansion, and further internal division, the strategic alternatives could unravel Palestinian institutional and diplomatic achievements, with no certainty of success.
The Carnegie Middle East Center organized the launch of its report titled Revitalizing Palestinian Nationalism: Options Versus Realities. The report examines the challenges facing Palestinian nationalism and explores the prospects for national renewal.
