Finally, peace! Conference fiction
Jean-Paul Chagnollaud and Christian F. Jouret are experts in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and are engaged in a political fiction exercise that begins with the signing of a peace agreement. Freed from the gravity of the present and freed from the status quo, they show and explain the ways to create a Palestinian state alongside Israel.
With Jean-Paul Chagnollaud, president of the think tank iReMMO (Institute of Research and Studies Mediterranean Middle East), Emeritus Professor of Universities. He is also director of the journal Confluences Méditerranée. The latest book, Israel/Palestine, the defeat of the victor, (Sindbad/Actes Sud, 2017), Christian Jouret, former European Union diplomat, deputy director of the online newspaper Orient XXI.
