Show Notes

Three decades on from the Oslo Accords, water remains a driver of conflict and competition in the Israeli-Palestinian diplomatic arena. However, advances in technology — combined with new regional alignments — hold the potential for water to provide win-win opportunities for both societies while building trust and momentum toward broader diplomatic progress in the region. On October 18, USIP hosted a conversation on the precedents and assumptions that have long driven the diplomatic approach to water in the conflict, the ongoing water crisis facing the parties and their neighbors, and the game-changing developments that could make bilateral and multilateral progress possible.
