Reconciliation between the rival Palestinian movements Hamas and Fatah; after 10 years of conflict, an important step seems to have been taken in that direction. Hamas says it is prepared to dissolve its administrative committee in Gaza and cooperate in free elections.
During this lecture, Middle East expert Mouin Rabbani explains what this recent reconciliation step implies for the future of Palestine. Will the elections really come? What are the obstacles to sustainable inter-Palestinian reconciliation? And what role do Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Iran play?
After the lecture we continue talking about this with Radi Suudi (political scientist specialized in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict) and with Jan Keulen (director of The Rights Forum).
