 n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\nZiad J. Asali\, Former Presid
 ent and Founder\, American Task Force on Palestine\nHanan Ashrawi\, Palest
 inian Politician\, Activist\, and Scholar\nAmbassador Hassan Abdel Rahman\
 , Former Palestinian National Authority Ambassador to the United States\nH
 ussein Ibish\, Senior Resident Scholar\, AGSIW (Moderator)\n\nOn October 7
 \, 2023\, Palestinian militants killed 1\,200 people and seized many more 
 as hostages in a Hamas-led attack in southern Israel. Israel responded wit
 h a grueling war on Gaza that has reportedly killed more than 30\,000 Pale
 stinians and pushed the population to the brink of famine.\n\nWhat are the
  fundamental goals of Hamas and Israel\, respectively\, in the present con
 flagration\, and how far have both sides come toward realizing their core 
 aims? What impact have key outside players had in shaping the conflict and
  its potential aftermath both in Gaza and the broader region\, particularl
 y the United States\, the Palestinian Authority\, Egypt\, Qatar\, and Saud
 i Arabia? What are the stakes for the Gulf Arab countries individually and
  collectively? How will the Palestinian national movement adapt to the way
 s in which the fighting is reshaping regional strategic and political calc
 ulations? What is the future of Gaza\, and what kind of postconflict scena
 rios seem plausible or minimally acceptable? Will renewed international en
 thusiasm for a two-state solution have any long-term impact? And how will 
 Israel respond to pressure to end fighting\, ease humanitarian suffering i
 n Gaza\, and signal its renewed openness to the creation of a Palestinian 
 state?\n\nAGSIW continues its series of webinars looking at different pers
 pectives on the post-October 7 crises destabilizing the Middle East\, part
 icularly the Gaza war\, with a panel that will examine a range of Palestin
 ian viewpoints.\n\nFollow the discussion on social media.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
