With the participation of 1000 experts, scholars and former heads of state, we explored the risks and chances of peace in the Middle East following the Iraq war, prior to the implementation of the road map.

On 4th March 2004, in Nicosia , Cyprus , we held a round table on " Cyprus – The Day After" with participants from the disputing factions on the Island and Strategic Dialogue experts.

The historic gathering included world leaders from four continents who were connected to the peace efforts of Yitzhak Rabin.

The conference entitled "The Challenges of Hamas", held in April, 2006, was the first organized discussion in the State of Israel to address the pressing issue of Hamas' rise to power, just over a month after the Hamas government was sworn in.
