How can we move beyond prevailing narratives and fully grasp the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the Gaza Strip and the severe deterioration of the situation in the West Bank? In a context of conflict and emergency, how can we better understand the reality behind the dominant images and stories in the media?

We will hear testimony from those who are directly on the front lines of this humanitarian catastrophe, to understand the deep-rooted causes of this conflict, the reasons behind the resurgence of hostilities, and how the narrative surrounding it can either support or hinder a path to peace.
