Mark Owen is pleased to welcome Yossi Mekelberg, Senior Consulting Fellow of the Middle East and North Africa Program at Chatham House. Can Israel continue to define its future primarily through security and territorial control? Mekelberg challenges the notion that military operations, raids and settlement expansion can constitute a sustainable political objective. It identifies a possible transition beyond the Netanyahu era as an opportunity to reconsider the relationship between Israeli and Palestinian societies. Its central argument is that the continuation of war without a political end risks a state of perpetual conflict.
