  • Trond Bakkevig (PRIO) presents the burning religious aspects of Jerusalem, and in what way these prevent a solution to the conflict.

  • Marte Heian-Engdal (PRIO) gives an introduction and moderates the panel.

The seminar is co-hosted by the House of Literature and the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO).

Registration to this seminar is not necessary.
