Israel and Palestine in a changing region

A talk by Richard Burden MP
7.30 p.m. Friday 15 July
A talk by Richard Burden MP, who chairs the all-party Palestine group in Parliament. `The entire Middle East is going through a transformation that we have never seen before – a huge upsurge in popular protest calling for rights and democracy. It is right for people to speak of the importance of pursuing the Middle East peace process at this time without soft-pedalling, but it is also true that "process" is not enough. The people of both Israel and Palestine deserve an enduring peace. And – as the Arab Spring turns to summer, autumn and winter – we need actions, not just words, by the international community to help bring that about'.
Venue: All Saints Church, 2 Vicarage Road. Kings Heath, Birmingham, B14 7RA
