‘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.

Meeting with Ribal Assad in the UK Parliament should be cancelled

 

 

 

 Caabu’s Director, Chris Doyle has written an article in the Guardian calling for the cancellation of a planned talk by Ribal Assad in Parliament on Monday 11 July.

 

 

As the conflict continues to rage, leading regional experts will debate the past, present and future of British-Libyan relations.

 

Speakers:

Professor George Joffe
(Professorial Research Fellow at the Global Policy Institute, Research Fellow at the Centre of International Studies at Cambridge University, and Research Fellow and Director, RUSI Qatar)

Caabu has called upon the British government to urgently raise the issue of Palestinian prisoners with the Israeli authorities.

The demand comes after the UK embassy in Tel Aviv incorporated an image of Gilad Shalit into its Facebook logo, and Alistair Burt MP, Minister responsible for the Middle East, recorded a personal appeal for the release the Israeli soldier who has been held in Gaza for four years.
