Mediating history: The Palestinian-Israeli conflict

Yuval Kalish

One of the major challenges of international mediation is how to address history. Since each faction weaves its own narrative around the historical facts, finding common ground is especially difficult for the mediator.

The presentation will examine possible ways of mediating history by examining the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, providing both a historical framework in which to assess one of the most difficult conflicts in the world today, and a process with which to mediate history.

......................................................................

Yuval Kalish is of German/Israeli descent. He is a psychologist and a trained mediator.

He worked with Israeli and Palestinian youth in Israel, trained Israeli Defence Force officers in conflict management, and facilitated Reconciliation Study Circles in Australia.

He is currently completing his MA in organisational psychology and is a PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne.
