The Palestinian-Israeli conflict has dragged on for decades. Thirty years after the Oslo Accords were supposed to end the conflict and pave the way for peace, recent events demonstrated that peace might be more elusive now that it was in the 20th century. The devastating “war” in Gaza in the aftermath of the shocking and brutal attack by Hamas clearly proved that there is no military solution to the conflict. Has the time finally come for Israelis, Palestinians, Arabs, and Americans to forge a lasting peace that will provide security and peace for Israelis and freedom and independence for Palestinians? Is there really light at the end of this dark tunnel that promises the dawn of a new Middle East? Examine the past, study the present, and explore the future with JES Scholar-in-Residence Dr. Baher Ghosheh.
