Please join us for this annual Michael Bell Lecture<\/a>, where Daniel Levy<\/a> will reflect on the current state of Israel-Palestine, tracing the political path that led here and scenarios going forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He situates this within a changing regional landscape and increasing Israeli extremism, and considers what it would mean to apply \u201cvalue-based realism\u201d to Israel-Palestine in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event will be recorded and will be made available on our YouTube channel at a later date.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
