Israeli-Palestinian Grassroots Negotiating Congress
Friday, March 9, 2018, 9AM – 4PM
The Goethe institute, Beit Asia, 4 Weizmann St., Tel Aviv

80 Israelis and Palestinians will 80 Israelis and Palestinians will discuss and negotiate practical and mutually-satisfactory solutions to all aspects of the conflict, seated at the Goethe institute, Tel Aviv. At the end, a strategic plan - for the establishment of a major Grassroots Negotiating Congress with political influence - will be presented.

80 Israelis and Palestinians will hold grassroots negotiations, seeking to reach solutions to all aspects of the conflict, in two separate forums: adults and youth. They will discuss, debate and negotiate trust building measures, the optimal solution to the conflict, and practical solutions to the core issues. The negotiations are open to the public and to media coverage. The congress will be held in the presence of international observers.

Of course, none of the participants is officially authorized to sign a binding agreement, on either the Israeli or the Palestinian side. The idea - in this as in various earlier such initiatives - is to show that given good will and an open mind on both sides. it is possible for Israelis and Palestinians to find a solution even for the most sensitive and difficult aspects of the conflict. It is hoped that this might eventually have an effect on those who are empowered to negotiate officially, reach a binding agreement and proceed to implement it. To that end, the congress will concluded with presenting a strategic plan for the establishment of a major Israeli-Palestinian Public Negotiating Congress will be presented – a powerful peacemaking institution that will operate over a period of time. The congress is designed to involve the people in the peacemaking efforts and motivate the leadership, on both sides, to conclude agreements.

The congress is sponsored by the Leon Charney Resolution Center. The center was established to help different communities cope with social crises and prepare the young generation to handle conflicts by peaceful means.

The late Leon Charney had dedicated a major part of his life to back-channel diplomacy, understood that the road to peace and stability required peacemaking activities in multiple dimensions. Leon and his wife, Tzili, established the center in order to encourage, develop, and initiate activities that can create the foundation for a better world.
