More than two decades have been lost on bilateral peace negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians. The two sides today seem further away than ever from a peace agreement. Does the latest French Initiative present an alternative to failed bilateral talks? Is a P5+1 model the last hope left for peace between Israel and Palestine?

Join New America and the Foundation for Middle East Peace for a conversation with Dr. Husam Zomlot, Ambassador-at-Large and Senior Advisor to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, about the way forward for Palestine and Palestinian efforts to internationalize the solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Refreshments will be served.
