After Egypt: Can People Power Save the Peace Process?

Monday 28th Feb 6pm – Wilson Room Portcullis House

Stephen Twigg – Shadow Minster for the Middle East and Chair of Progress

Tal Harris – Executive Director OneVoice Israel

Rami Rabayah – Senior youth leader OneVoice Palestine

Joel Braunold (chair) – Director of External Relations OneVoice Europe

With revolutions across the Arab world, policy makers are waking up to a new reality. With youth in revolt across the Middle East, OneVoice and Progress want to offer you the opportunity to explore whether the people power has been the missing element in the elusive search for Middle East Peace. Tal Harris directs the activities of OneVoice Israel and has been a driving force across Israel using innovative and creative techniques to mobilize Israeli’s to demand accountability of their government. Rami Rabayah has been a senior volunteer with OneVoice Palestine for over four years and has lead town hall meetings for hundreds of Palestinians across the west bank exploring the toughest issues in the peace process. Before being returned to Parliament Stephen Twigg was the director of the Foreign policy centre and has only recently returned from the region where he was visiting in his capacity as Shadow Minster for the Middle East.
