On Sunday, 4 April 2010, The Middle East Studies Center held a focus group in its headquarters in Amman entitled by Political Settlement: Challenges and Scenarios. It was joined by distinguished academics, researchers, journalists and politicians, and chaired by the center director Mr Jawad Al-Hamad. The idea of the seminar sprang from a number of factors, such as the series of US, Israeli and international pledges of an imminent settlement to the Palestinian issue; the Arab - and especially Palestinian - disability to achieve actual gains to for the Palestinian people and its fair cause; and the dependence on the track of political settlement and pledged peace. It aimed to realistically and methodically investigate the different facets of political settlement, predict its future scenarios and challenges, and analyze the current factors as well as their approaches for action in this year. In addition, the seminar was intended to realistically and methodically discuss the course of the political settlement since the election of Barack Obama, the battle of Gaza, and the failure of the internal Palestinian dialogue. The practical results of the political settlement were also explored. Finally, the main opportunities, challenges and scenarios of the settlement with regard to the Palestinian rights are determined.
