Acknowledgments
The authors of this paper would like thank colleagues at Chatham House – especially Robin Niblett, its director; Lina Khatib, the head of the Middle East and North Africa Programme; and the programme’s team – for their continuous support of the ‘Israel–Palestine: Beyond the Stalemate’ project. We would like also to thank our generous funders for making this project possible. We hope that by enabling this project we can contribute to improving understanding of the pitfalls in bringing peace and how to overcome them, and also to facilitating future constructive dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians of all political persuasions. We would like also to extend our gratitude to many people whose names we will keep anonymous for obvious reasons – their willingness to share their knowledge, wisdom and experience with us helped to inform the insights in this paper.
