021202 Hanan Ashrawi - Prospects for Peace in the Middle East

The adjective most often used to describe the Israeli - Palestinian conflict is intractable. Ancient hatreds, the experts tell us, make it impossible for the two peoples to live in peace. 'Peace, peace, peace' is chanted like a mantra by both parties. Yet what is preventing it from being realised? For decades, there has been an almost unanimous international consensus on solving the problem. UN Security Council resolutions 242 and 338 are the foundations for a settlement. Two countries have consistently opposed the implementation of those resolutions: Israel and the United States.

Hanan Ashrawi is one of the foremost representatives of the Palestinian viewpoint. She served as Minister of Education in the Palestinian Authority before breaking with Arafat. She is head of the Palestinian Initiative for the Promotion of Global Dialogue and Democracy. Dr. Ashrawi is the author of From Intifada to Independence and This Side of Peace.
