Samer Elchahabi is a Palestinian-American expert in international governance and democracy, with extensive experience across Southwest Asia and North Africa (SWANA). Recently, he published an article on the potential of a one state-solution to achieve lasting equality in Israel/Palestine. In his upcoming presentation, Samer will offer insights and strategies to realize this vision, emphasizing the importance of equal rights, justice, and collaborative efforts in shaping a sustainable peace.

• Understanding the Landscape. Revisit the one-state solution as a pathway to sustainable peace, underpinned by the assurance of equal rights and justice for all inhabitants from the river to the sea, traversing the historical nuances, the present-day intricacies, and the transformative potential of a unified state paradigm.
• Strategic Frameworks. Explore strategies that resonate with the empowerment ethos of Palestinian movements. The dialogue will span international diplomacy, grassroots activism, policy innovation, and educational endeavors aimed at fostering an environment of mutual understanding, respect, and shared governance to achieve systemic change.
• Collaborative Efforts. Underscore the imperative of building alliances among local communities, international organizations, and governments. We will delve into global examples of reconciliation and equitable governance, illustrating how such alliances can be instrumental in transforming societal structures and narratives.
• Actionable Steps. Outlining practical steps, we will connect advocacy and empowerment strategies to promote/support the equality blueprint. This will encompass supporting peace-building programs, engaging in holistic advocacy, and nurturing educational and cultural exchanges that embody the spirit of equality, justice, and mutual respect.
