Palestine, Britain & the Balfour Declaration 100 years on

Middle East Monitor is marking 100 years since the signing of the Balfour Declaration in a day-long conference with notable academics, journalists and political activists.

The event, which is split into three panel discussions, will cover how the Balfour Declaration came to existence, Britain’s role in the Zionist project and continued oppression of Palestinians and the occupation’s violations. The guest panels will discuss the impact the ever increasing illegal settlements are having on the conflict and how the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement is helping to tackle them.

The live blog will begin from 9.30am BST on from Saturday 7^th October 2017
