The previous two rounds of the Palestine Forum, held in 2023 and 2024, were a huge success, both in terms of the quality of the papers presented and the volume of participation and interaction of attendees from all over the world. Around 130 peer-reviewed papers were selected from a total of 900 submissions and were presented in themed sessions. In addition, the forum hosted a number of specialized and general symposiums related to current issues concerning Palestine.
The forum will continue to provide a dynamic academic space for those interested in the Palestinian cause and its broader regional and global implications. It significantly contributes to scholarly research on Palestine, reaffirming the importance of the Palestinian cause and both Arab and international engagement with it.
This year’s forum will allocate a special space for research related to Israel’s ongoing genocidal war in Gaza and its local, regional and international implications, in addition to the questions raised by this war about international law and its effectiveness, genocide, and ethnic cleansing, spaciocide and culturicide, forced displacement and refugees, resistance movements, and other topics related to Gaza more generally.
