The Middle East Forum presents this week's webinar offerings: "How Western Indulgence of 'Palestine Refugee' Claims Obstructs Conflict Resolution" with Adi Schwartz
In a just-published book co-written with Einat Wilf, the speaker argues for the centrality of the refugee issue in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict because it continues the rejection of Jewish sovereignty on any part of the land. Therefore, Western powers must send a clear message: no support for the return of Palestine refugees.

Iran’s links to the region and its establishment of jihadi networks go back to the 1990s (recall the bombings in Buenos Aires). They have grown especially with Maduro’s Venezuela. In addition to local aspirations, this effort also endangers domestic U.S. national security interests.
