Event Description

Yair Hirschfeld, the Isaac and Mildred Brochstein Fellow in Middle East Peace and Security in Honor of Yitzhak Rabin at the Baker Institute, discusses the rationale and content of a suggested five-component strategy for dealing with the current dilemmas faced in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. This strategy includes bottom-up movement toward a two-state solution, de-escalation in Gaza, developing phases of progress for the Arab Peace Initiative, dealing with Iran, and preparing a U.S. bridging proposal for an Israeli-Palestinian Treaty of Peace. Hirschfeld will also use four narratives — two Israeli and two Palestinian — to illustrate the point that, in order for peace negotiations to succeed, the narratives of both sides of the conflict should be complementary and possibly overlap.
