2017 saw the first ever Palestine Music Expo (PMX) take place in Ramallah on the West Bank. It brought together Palestinian artists and international music industry professionals in an effort to develop valuable music industry networking opportunities in Palestine. The event was a huge success and continues to be the major annual event on the Palestine music calendar. Listen and watch again as we talk Palestinian Pop with Sarah Williams and Martin Goldschmidt from PMX and the unbelievably talented Palestinian singer-songwriter Rasha Nahas who sang for us live.
It seems that we are continually asking this question; what next for Palestine and Israel... one-state, two-states, Netanyahu, Bennett, boycott, the so-called peace process, Sheikh Jarrah/East Jerusalem, Gaza, Hamas. Listen and watch again to our conversation with Jonathan Cook and Phoebe Rison as they discussed some of the issues with Amos Director Chris Rose.
Listen and watch again as our friend Sami Awad from Holy Land Trust in Bethlehem updates us on the current situation in Palestine. As things in East Jerusalem and Gaza continue to escalate, Sami spoke with Amos director Chris Rose, Charlotte Marshall from Sabeel-Kairos and Jess Foster. He also shared news of his friends and family in Gaza. Sami, whose family fled Jerusalem in 1948, spoke about his thoughts on the current situation and answered some of your questions.
For our last webinar in the current season, we discussed the increased pressure to silence those who advocate for Palestinian rights, whether inside Palestine, in the UK, or across Europe. We were joined by those seeking to ensure that this pressure will not be successful, including Wesam Ahmad from Al Haq, Giovanni Fassina, Programme Director from The European Legal Support Centre, and Kat Khoury from PalArt Collective.
We work alongside grass-roots partners in Palestine, South Africa, Nicaragua, Burundi, India and Tanzania.

Working with local and international peace activists, and partnering with grass-roots projects, to call for a just peace, reconciliation and full equal rights for all Palestinians and Israelis.
Addressing the impact of climate change and the causes of extreme poverty, building sustainable rural communities and empowering them to realise their rights.
