Featuring Amb. Lina Arafat and Sharon Dolev, Middle East Treaty Organization (METO)

The purpose of this gathering is to explore practical pathways toward resolving conflicts in the Middle East through nonviolent, inclusive approaches.

The discussion will present METO’s regional framework for sustainable peace and examine how civil society—locally and globally—can translate ideas into coordinated action. Together, we will reflect on how solidarity, structured collaboration, and shared campaigns can bring us closer to a just and lasting peace in the region.

Now is the moment to give the Middle East what it truly deserves: the chance to become the birthplace of a new society. This is a matter of reciprocity. For millennia, the Middle East has given so much to humanity — from algebra to foundational civilizations.
