Parliamentary views from the West Bank A report back from Caabu delegations to the Occupied Palestinian Territory

6:30pm, Wednesday 4 July

Grand Committee Room, House of Commons

Join Caabu for a chance to hear from recent participants in our delegations to the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

Recent delegations of British parliamentarians have looked at many of the major issues facing Palestinians in the West Bank - settlements, forced displacement, the Barrier and child detainees - by visiting Hebron, Bedouin communities in Area C, al-Walajeh, Qalqilya and the military courts at Ofer.  Our panel will be reflecting on what they witnessed in the West Bank, and giving their thoughts on prospects for a solution to the conflict.
