MEMO R
The Oslo Accords signed in 1993 were supposed to end in a final settlement of the Palestine-Israel conflict after an interim period of five years. 25 years on, the 'final settlement' still has not been reached, with the seven ‘permanent status’ issues yet to be negotiated. To the same degree that the Palestinians did not achieve their independence and statehood, so too the Israelis have failed to realise their exclusive and democratic Jewish state, with a Jewish majority. Why has the Oslo peace process continued for so long with no tangible success? What next for the peace process?

As dozens of Palestinians have been killed and hundreds more have been injured by Israeli forces, MEMO will be doing a live coverage as protests take place across the occupied territories ahead of the US embassy opening in Jerusalem and the 70th anniversary of the Nakba.

Join Middle East Monitor on Saturday 3rd March 2018, for a full day conference. Jerusalem is once again in the international spotlight. Following US President Donald Trump’s unilateral decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, world leaders and international organisations rallied to condemn the move and its disregard for the final status negotiations of the 1993 Oslo Accords. The issue of Jerusalem can be understood through a variety of lenses, each of which affords a unique insight into the question at hand. This conference seeks to analyse recent developments through a historical and legal framework, analysing the impact of the continued occupation of Jerusalem and the international negotiations. We will be live streaming the conference all day on this page, and follow the live blog below for all the important highlights.

Israel recently arrested and charged 16-year-old Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi and is trying her a military court. The case has received global coverage and highlights the occupation forces' use of military custody against unarmed Palestinian minors. A report funded by the British Foreign Office in 2012 found Israel’s treatment of Palestinian child prisoners was in breach of Article 76 of the 4th Geneva Convention on the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War (concerning occupied territories), and Several Articles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. On 7 February at 14:30 GMT the UK will hold a debate on ‘Military detention of Palestinian children by Israeli authorities’. MEMO will be live blogging the event as it happens.

Stay tuned as MEMO unravels what the British Parliament has to say on this violation of human rights.

The 1917 Balfour Declaration is widely regarded as one of the most formative and far-reaching documents in the modern history of the Middle East. It was the cornerstone of the Zionist project to transform Arab Palestine into a ‘Jewish state’. The Declaration and subsequent events changed not only the demographic map of the region but also its political, social and military configuration as well.
