In its headquarters in Amman, the Middle East Studies Center held a seminar titled Palestinian Reconciliation: Challenges and Future Scenarios on July 2, 2011. A number of academics and politicians spoke at the seminar chaired by Political Science Professor Dr Ahmed Said Nofal from Yarmouk University. Three topics were discussed: 1. Analysis of the Reconciliation Agreement's Political Content and First Weeks' Reality: Challenges vs. Opportunities 2. Post-Reconciliation Scenarios and Parties' Options 3. The US and the International Stands against Reconciliation and Effects on Its Success. They concluded that the agreement is influenced by internal and external factors, making its future track an open one. It has been signed out of mutual feelings of exhaustion of countless rounds of rivalry but which mean there will be no serious reconciliation under these conditions especially on any joint project. However, within the inclusive changes underway in the Arab world, the Palestinian issue is having new opportunities at hand to seize, though cautiously. This must be done hand-in-hand with raising awareness among the Palestinians on the essence of the current problems in inter-Palestinian and Palestinian-Israeli relations.
