Americans for Peace Now is committed to a two-state peace agreement. But that could take various forms. One
of them is a confederation. The latest variation of such a scenario is the Holy Land Confederation Plan,
co-authored by Dr. Hiba Husseini and Dr. Yossi Beilin, a Palestinian and an Israeli, both former peace
negotiators.
What are the advantages of a confederative structure? How may it help overcome the current standstill in
Israeli-Palestinian diplomacy? Is a confederative vision utopic or is it viable in the foreseeable
future?
To address these and other questions, please join APN’s webinar with Hiba Husseini and Yossi Beilin on Monday
