On 9-10 May, CMES organized a workshop titled “Israel at the Crossroads: Democratic Backsliding and Elusive Peace” with international scholars to discuss the ongoing mass protests and democratic upheaval in Israel.

The workshop explored a broad set of themes, such as the tension between state identity and democracy, “unthinkable” peace, and the regional repercussions of the recent political turmoil in Israel. A keynote speech was held by the Swedish author and journalist Göran Rosenberg. As an outcome of the workshop an edited book will be published early 2024.
