J Street U Presents: Is Israeli-Palestinian Peace Still Possible?
Room 003, Rockefeller Center
4:00 PM

Cosponsored by the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center at Dartmouth College

Join us for a once in a lifetime opportunity to hear from Dr. Gershon Baskin, who negotiated Shalit's release, less than 5 months after the deal that freed Shalit was struck.

Dr. Gershon Baskin
Co-Chairman, Israel Palestine Center for Research and Information (IPCRI)

Gershon Baskin, Ph.D., was the initiator and the person responsible for the secret back channel between Israel and the Hamas that successfully negotiated the release of abducted Israeli soldier Gilead Schalit. He is the founder and co-director for 24 years of the Israel Palestine Center for Research and Information (IPCRI) in Jerusalem. Dr. Baskin is an author and columnist for Jerusalem Post, a radio talk show host on All for Peace Radio, and has served as adviser to two Israeli Prime Ministers on peace process issues.
