For the health and safety of our patrons and speakers, masks may be required for indoor in-person Houston Seminar events, and we strongly prefer registrants to be fully vaccinated. Since events are held at a variety of venues with their own policies and protocols, there may be other requirements for some courses. We make every effort to inform guests in a timely manner if there are additional health and safety guidelines they will be asked to follow. Our trips and study tours, particularly those that include shared transportation or plane flights, may also require guidelines beyond those for in-person courses, which will be determined in conjunction with venues, vendors, and local guidelines. We will make every effort to announce these guidelines as far in advance as possible. Thank you for bearing with us as we continue to navigate the world of COVID-19 while bringing enriching experiences to our audiences.

$20Israel, The Arab States And Palestine: Where Are We Now?
Thursday, October 8, 11:00 A.M. – 12:30 P.M.
In August, the United Arab Emirates became the first Arab state in decades to normalize its relations with Israel. Bahrain soon followed suit, and more Arab States may follow. But one thorny issue remains untouched: Palestine.
Dr. Galia Golan, longtime academic and peace activist, will speak to us via Zoom from her home in Israel to provide unique insights into what the recent Arab-Israeli agreements may mean for the futures of Israel and of Palestine.
Galia Golan is professor emeritus and former head of the political science department of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, a founder of the advocacy group Peace Now, and former head of the program in Diplomacy and Conflict Studies at the Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya. She has lived and taught in Israel since 1966, and is a prolific writer on the Israel-Palestine situation; her recent books include Israeli Peacemaking since 1967: Factors for the Breakthroughs and Failures, and Non-State Actors in the Middle East: Factors for Peace and Democracy, co-authored with Walid Salem. She has a B.A. from Brandeis University and a Ph.D. from Hebrew University. In 2019 she received the Scholar/Activist award from the International Studies Association.
