‘Palestinian Statehood? Security Implications for the Region’
This conference will assess the impact that the Arab Spring has had on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In turn it will look at the effect of the conflict on the Middle East, the implications for multilateral and supranational institutions, the security concerns of Israel and the Palestinian territories, the viability of a Palestinian state and the likelihood of future fruitful negotiations between the two sides.
Caabu welcomes the significant advances made in Libya against Colonel Gaddafi’s forces over the last 24 hours. However, there are huge challenges ahead for Libya, regardless of the fate of Gaddafi and the remnants of his regime.
Commenting in the media overnight, Chris Doyle, Caabu’s Director stated:
The Council for Arab-British Understanding and the Conservative Middle East Council (CMEC) would like to invite you to attend our annual event on the fringe of the Conservative Party Conference which takes place in the Colony Restaurant at the Midland Hotel in Manchester from 3pm-5pm on Tuesday 4th October.
