Today we explore issues related to Israeli policies in Jerusalem, including ongoing displacement of Palestinian residents and expansion of Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem, why Jerusalem continues to serve as a catalyst for Palestinian protest (and harsh Israeli violence in response), and how Jerusalem continues to be at the heart of Palestinian and Israeli national aspirations. We will hear portions of a webinar titled “Whose Jerusalem?” featuring: Daniel Seidemann from Terrestrial Jerusalem, Dana El Kurd (Non-Resident Fellow at the Middle East Institute), and Munir Nuseibah from Al-Quds University. It is Co-moderated by Khaled Elgindy of the Middle East Institute and Lara Friedman, President of the Foundation for Middle East Peace.
