Khaled Elgindy
Palestinians and a Humanitarian Crisis
Zoom Webinar
June 14, 2021 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EDT
As the long-standing Israel-Palestine conflict shifts with geopolitics, Palestinians have faced a dire humanitarian crisis with 2.5 million out of 5.2 million Palestinians in need of humanitarian assistance. Political fragmentation and infighting between Fatah and Hamas also affect those Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank, as well as those who are refugees or living in Israel. What is the range of humanitarian concerns among different groups of Palestinians? Are their political options representative of the people? And what does the future look like for Palestinians in such unresolved circumstances? Join us for a discussion on the humanitarian and political circumstances for Palestinians on Monday, June 14 from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm EDT, when we will be joined by Khaled Elgindy, Senior Fellow and the Director of Program on Palestine and Palestinian-Israeli Affairs at the Middle East Institute.
