Forward Thinking hold meetings in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza Strip, 18th - 27th November 2015

Forward Thinking met with diverse political leaders, youth leaders, academics, business figures and diplomats in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Ramallah, Nablus and Gaza. These figures represented a wide spectrum of both Israeli and Palestinian politics and society. The meetings provided a detailed insight into the current situation within the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and, in particular, the recent rise in violence. These meetings also provided an important opportunity to plan for upcoming activities within Forward Thinking's Middle East Programme.
