Israel-Palestine: Future perspectives

The establishment of a new and different US administration, the war in Gaza, the Israeli elections, the reinforcement of the Hamas in Palestine and the regional reconfiguration are raising new challenges and opportunities for the whole Middle East.

This calls for a strategic reassessment of the region and a need to analyze possible scenarios which might help the parties to get out of the deadlock and build new opportunities for a just and peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
