It’s our pleasure to invite you to the 4th webinar in our series 'Palestine During COVID-19: Impact, Response, and Co-Existence' on the topic of 'The Question of Palestine.'
The webinar addresses the current situation and circumstances that surround the Palestinian cause. This includes but is not limited to the following topics:
-Israel's plans to annex parts of the West Bank and to
understand why Israel has been able to successfully
implement the de facto annexation continuously since 1967.
-Palestinian statehood in light of the PLO’s movements
towards annulling its agreements with Israel and the
abandoning the status of the Oslo Accords.
-The issue of Palestinian sovereignty under occupation and
annexation i.e. how can Palestinians utilize international law
in their defense?
-How do we raise the awareness of these issues, both globally
and locally?
These issues are of significance, both legally and politically, and could benefit from more in-depth discussion.
We welcome your participation in the discussion.
