The dynamics of the Israel-Palestine conflict are increasingly being
defined by the 700-km wall encircling Palestinian communities in the West
Bank and Gaza. The Wall has fundamentally altered and reshaped the
possibilities and challenges of both the armed struggle and the popular
resistance to Israel's occupation.

He will also discuss the situation and future of Palestinian political
prisoners, particularly in light of the recent prisoner exchange.
