Achieving the (Im)possible: Peace and Disarmament in the Middle East

In this conversation, Emad Kiyaei and Sharon Dolev explore the real power of civil society in shaping the future of the Middle East, and the roles and responsibilities of those engaging with the region at this critical moment. The discussion will introduce the METO (Middle East Treaty Organization) approach — a practical, regional, and collaborative framework advancing peace and disarmament, grounded in trust-building and human security. We will also look ahead to the next steps: how ideas become action, and how each of us can contribute to turning the [im]possible into a reality.
