Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › Research › peer-review

Abstract

This Nota internacional CIDOB summarises the discussions held during a Foreign Policy Dialogue organised by the Barcelona Centre for International Affairs (CIDOB) on April 19th, 2024. It is based on contributions from the participants, although not all views and opinions expressed in this publication are necessarily theirs.
Rethinking the prevailing approach to peace between Palestinians and Israelis requires more than the symbolic recognition of Palestinian statehood; it means addressing the root causes of this conflict such as colonisation and occupation, as well as practical clarity on how to guarantee the Palestinians’ right to self-determination.
Regional de-escalation cannot begin without a ceasefire in Gaza. In the long view, the desire to restore stability shared by most Middle Eastern countries should be seen as an opportunity to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The European Union (EU) can contribute to conflict resolution and peace by taking action against Israel’s war crimes, making the two-state solution more than an empty slogan and supporting regional de-escalation.

OtherAmid ongoing conflict in Gaza and escalating violence in response to this war, is it credible to discuss peace? What does a political solution in Israel and Palestine demand? More importantly, what factors would contribute to the success of negotiations? To tackle these questions, this year's edition of the Foreign Policy Dialogues will serve as a platform to assess the current conflict's magnitude at local, regional, and international levels, and to explore the conditions under which we could envision credible negotiations for a political resolution of this conflict.
