– Recorded Mar 28, 2007, Doha, Qatar

The Palestinian right of return was debated at the Doha Debate on March 28, 2007. The issue is seen by many as the most intractable barrier to a Middle East peace settlement. Yossi Beilin, a Knesset member and Chairman of the Meretz-Yachad party, and Bassem Eid, a long-time Palestinian human rights campaigner, argued for the motion. They were challenged by Israeli academic Ilan Pappe and Ali Abunimah, co-founder of The Electronic Intifada.

The debate was broadcast on BBC World on April 14 and 15, 2007.

The Doha Debates are an initiative of the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development. The Foundation is a private, chartered, nonprofit organization committed to the belief that a nation’s true wealth is in the potential of its people. http://www.thedohadebates.com/
