The Arab Center Washington DC presents:

As Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories—the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem—turns 50 and the Palestinian Nakba enters its 70th year, the Arab Center Washington DC presents a symposium to assess the future of the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination.

The discussion will focus on the state of civil and human rights in Palestine, the prospects for statehood and a just solution, the role of the international community, and US policy challenges under the Trump Administration.
