SUMMARY:Exploring the horizon of an Israeli Palestinian confederation
DTSTAMP:20261009T215808Z
DTSTART:20261116T190000Z
DESCRIPTION:The ongoing war\, genocidal violence\, occupation\, and humanit
	arian catastrophe in\nIsrael-Palestine have exposed the terminal crisis of
	 the status quo. Despite\ndecades of peace processes\, the two-state parad
	igm has been rendered nearly\nimpossible by settlement expansion\, territo
	rial fragmentation\, and the denial of\nPalestinian self-determination. Me
	anwhile\, one-state realities on the ground do\nnot offer political equali
	ty for both peoples. In this vacuum\, a third horizon\nis being discussed 
	among academics: a confederation of two sovereign states\nsharing one home
	land.\n\nThis evening – as the concluding public event of a symposium orga
	nised by NIAS\n(Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study) – experts on Isr
	ael-Palestine and\nbeyond\, together ánd with the audience\, critically ex
	amine a Palestinian–Israeli\nconfederation as an alternative political hor
	izon grounded in principles of\nequality\, mutual recognition\, shared sov
	ereignty\, and institutional cooperation.\n\nMoving beyond abstract endors
	ements of a “two-state solution\,” the confederation\nframework proposes c
	oncrete arrangements addressing core issues such as borders\,\nsettlements
	\, refugees\, Jerusalem\, and resource governance through mechanisms of\ni
	nterdependence rather than separation.\n\nTonight we discuss the condition
	s under which confederal arrangements can emerge\nand endure\, if and how 
	deeply divided societies can transition from conflict to\nshared governanc
	e\, and how issues of justice\, memory\, and asymmetry shape\ninstitutiona
	l design.
