Webinar Forthcoming Annexation of (parts of) the West Bank?
Channel: SOMO Research
Date: 11/06/2020

On Thursday 4 June, three experts talked about the possible forthcoming annexation of (parts of) the Palestinian West Bank. Now differences between Netanyahu and Gantz appear to be out of the way and a new unity government is formed, the pathway to de jure annexation of (parts of) the West Bank seems to be paved. Both parties have openly talked about annexation during their election campaigns and it was part of the government negotiations. 

This webinar will shed more light on the current state of affairs including timeline, potential consequences on the ground as well as policy recommendations to the Netherlands and the EU to prevent this.

This webinar is organised by Oxfam Novib and Pax.

Speakers are:

- Mr. Jamie McGoldrick, United Nations Deputy Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process
- Dr. Munir Nusseibeh, Director of the Community Action Center at the Al-Quds University

- Ms. Sharona Weiss, Head of International Advocacy Department Yesh Din. 



This webinar is the first in a series of two on current developments in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Israel. 



The webinars are organised by Pax, The Rights Forum, Oxfam Novib and SOMO. For more infomation see: https://www.somo.nl/upcoming-two-webinars-on-current-events-in-palestine/
