The race between peace and war in the Middle East is intensifying. The Israeli war on Gaza has caused enormous distress among people inside the territory and outside it. Despite the disparity in the balance of power between the Palestinians and the Israelis, the war has not been conclusive. On the contrary it has led to more polarization in the region, dashing the hopes of those in the West who had anticipated a wider move towards wider political settlements. Regional powers; Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Iran have different agendas, but the Israeli challenge has always led to a degree of consensus among the regional powers especially since the Gaza episode erupted four months ago.
The prospects of peace and war are still in the balance, but the political skirmishes continues unabated.
The meeting will be held in person, followed by dinner
