Civil Society in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict

At Medelhavsmuseet (Museum of the Mediterranean) in Stockholm, on 3 June 2025, I had the honor to moderate a talk between three representatives of the Israeli-Jewish and Palestinian civil societies.

Topic: How can Israeli and Palestinian civil society be revived in order to find a new path towards peace? What can the European Union do to further the cause of peace at this fateful junction in the history of these societies and this conflict?

Speakers: Ayala Metzger (Peace-Advocate from the Hostage Movement, Tel Aviv)
Thabet Abu Rass (Political Analyst and a Board Member of the Van Leer Institute)
Ziv Stahl (Director of Yesh Din, Survivor of the 7 October massacre).

A talk co-arranged by Utrikespolitiska institutet (UI) and The Candid Foundation.

I can only regret that this important talk was not recorded.
