Program

Middle East

The Middle East Program in Washington combines in-depth regional knowledge with incisive comparative analysis to provide deeply informed recommendations. With expertise in the Gulf, North Africa, Iran, and Israel/Palestine, we examine crosscutting themes of political, economic, and social change in both English and Arabic.

This event has reached capacity and registration has closed. Watch live starting at 12:30 p.m. EST.

What will the recent changes in U.S. policy—including recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, terminating assistance to Palestinians and UNRWA, and closing the Palestinian representative office in Washington—mean for the future of U.S.-Palestinian relations and the Palestinian national project? Will the accelerated pace of settlement construction and attempts to normalize Israeli control over the occupied Palestinian territory create irreversible realities with long-term ramifications for Palestinian self-determination and regional security?  

Please join Carnegie for a discussion with Hanan Ashrawi, Daniel Levy, and Andrew Miller. Michele Dunne will moderate.

A light lunch will be served at 12:00 p.m. The discussion will begin at 12:30 p.m.
