with Hagit Ofran and Lior Amihai
During the past few months, and particularly under Israel’s current government, there has been a significant increase in the proliferation and severity of violent acts by extremist Israeli West Bank settlers against neighboring Palestinians and their property.
To examine the depth and breadth of this trend and analyze its causes and objectives, APN hosted a
webinar with two of Israel’s leading experts on this topic, Peace Now’s Hagit Ofran and Yesh Din’s Lior
Amihai.
