What might a just peace look like for Israelis and Palestinians? Out of the many options that have been proposed over the decades—one-state, two-state, bi-national confederation, international peacekeeping missions—what seems most likely in the foreseeable future? Is an absence of war our last best hope, or can we keep hope alive for enduring peace that reconciles between the two peoples? Our Israel-Palestine event series concludes with another conversation with David Myers and Hussein Ibish about the range of futures for the region: the ideal, the possible, and the probable.  Notre Dame ID's will be required for entrance to this event. Featuring:Hussein Ibish, Senior Resident Scholar, Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington      David Myers, Distinguished Professor and Sady and Ludwig Kahn Chair in Jewish History, UCLA       Originally published at forum2024.nd.edu.
