Resistance When Palestine is Occupied

This event will have a focused discussion on the effectiveness, impact and the legal justification of all forms of Palestinian resistance.

Our guest speaker for this discussion is Dr. Shahd Hammouri, interviewed by Sara Saleh who will guide the conversation to highlight the many aspects of the Palestinian resistance within the context of the international law.
