We are not likely to forget the events. But the question of 'how' they are to be remembered has emerged and remains controversial. The prospects for peace in the Middle East will be the subject of a program at Rice University on Thursday, Feb. 5, featuring Dore Gold, permanent representative of Israel to the United Nations, and Ahmed Maher El Sayed, Egyptian ambassador to the United States. The program will begin at 6 p.m. in the Commons of Baker Hall. It will be hosted by Rice's James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy and moderated by institute Director Edward P. Djerejian, former U.S. ambassador to Israel and Syria.
Space is limited.
Prior to taking on the United Nations post for Israel, Gold served as foreign policy adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In that capacity he dealt extensively with the Palestine Authority, Egypt, Jordan and other parts of the Arab world. The program is part of the Baker Institute's Shell Lecture Series.
