What will the recent changes in U.S. policy—including recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, terminating assistance to Palestinians and UNRWA, and closing the Palestinian representative office in Washington—mean for the future of U.S.-Palestinian relations and the Palestinian national project? Will the accelerated pace of settlement construction and attempts to normalize Israeli control over the occupied Palestinian territory create irreversible realities with long-term ramifications for Palestinian self-determination and regional security?

Please join Carnegie for a discussion with Hanan Ashrawi, Robert Malley, and Daniel Levy. Michele Dunne will moderate.

A light lunch will be served at 12:00 p.m. The discussion will begin at 12:30 p.m.
