Leading Israeli politician to give evidence on Israeli-Palestinian conflict

In the first panel, Committee Members will hear from Shelly Tal Meron, Member of the Knesset and the centrist Yesh Atid Party. Last year, Ms Meron said that the Israeli government’s failure to plan for the “day after” the Gaza war ends was a “huge strategic mistake”.

In the second panel, the Committee will question Natasha Hausdorff, a barrister at 6 Pump Court Chambers, focusing on international law and its applicability in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.  

In the third panel, Members will hear from Jonathan Sacerdoti, a journalist who previously served as UK correspondent for the Israeli TV channel i24news, on the reasoning behind the policies of the Israeli government in its handling of the Gaza war and relations with Palestinians. 

Questions are likely to focus on what steps the UK needs to take to support a renewed ceasefire and a long-term peaceful resolution to the conflict.
