As Israelis and Palestinians consider reopening negotiations, the final status issues—such as Jerusalem, refugees, security and borders—loom on the horizon. For over a decade, Palestinians, Israelis and others have been working on creative solutions to these seemingly intractable challenges.
Middle East Progress at the Center for American Progress invites you to hear from three experts who have been looking at the issue of Jerusalem, the city at the heart of the conflict.
The discussion will focus on the multiple challenges Jerusalem poses to any resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian and broader Arab-Israeli conflict and how they might be resolved.
