Our first webinar of the year will focus on Israel’s new far right government. The webinar will shed light on what are likely to be the ramifications of the changes in laws and regulations by this new extremist Israeli government, for the Palestinian people. We will look at how the changes will effect the everyday lives of the Palestinians in the West Bank and the Palestinian minority in Israel in terms of how they will face legal, educational and economic issues.
The webinar will feature speakers who are experts in the field of Palestinian and Israeli politics. Confirmed are Hassan Jabareen, from Adalah ( the legal centre for Arab minorities in Israel) and Sami Abu Shehadeh of the Yaffa youth movement and former Knesset member.
Dr. Hassan Jabareen, Advocate is the Founder and General Director of Adalah.
Dr. Jabareen has served as Adalah’s general and legal director since its establishment in 1996. He holds a PhD in Law from Hebrew University. Over the last 25 years, he has litigated scores of landmark constitutional law cases regarding Palestinian citizens of Israel, including the Palestinian leadership, and international humanitarian law cases concerning Palestinians in the 1967 Occupied Territory before the Israeli Supreme Court. Also, since 1998, he has been an adjunct lecturer for a course that he initiated on the legal status of the Palestinian minority in Israel and other law courses in the Faculties of Law at Tel Aviv, Hebrew, and Haifa Universities. He has received several awards for outstanding public interest lawyering and top human rights law prizes.
