A discussion that centred around whether Coronavirus has created more opportunities for dialogue between Palestinians and Israelis, or if it has further polarised positions. With a call for urgent action over the new Israeli Government’s plans to annex large parts of the West Bank.
With plans to launch new cookbook ‘Falastin’ on hold due to Coronavirus, we invited Sami and Tara, the book’s authors, to join us in conversation with Amos trustee Gemma Bell, to recommend their favourite recipes from the book and share some top tips for that perfect Palestinian Lockdown meal.
Featuring writer, director and academic Ahmed Masoud and journalist Hind Khoudary (above) in conversation with Amos Trust Director Chris Rose. As the blockade of Gaza enters its 13th year, the devastating impact on Gaza’s infrastructure, economy and health service meant that as the pandemic entered the general population, it had a devastating effect. Hear from Ahmed and Hind about what impact coronavirus had on life in the Strip.

Although we could not be together in person for our Christmas event in 2020, we came together online for our Bethlehem ‘Big Give’ Christmas Event to stand in solidarity with the children and young people of Palestine this holiday season. With Christmas messages from our partners in Palestine and the premiere of two new films from Gaza, we also heard poetry from Harry Baker, Zena Kazeme and Justin Butcher, music from Martyn Joseph, Garth Hewitt and Beth Rowley and thought-provoking contributions from our friends around the world.
We were delighted to be able to screen ‘Cycling Under Siege in Gaza’ when we were joined by the director Flavia Cappellini and Alaa al-Dali (the subject of the film), for a Q&A afterwards. We were also joined by We Are Not Numbers project manager from Gaza, Issam Adwan, cyclist and author Julian Sayarer and writer and playwright Ahmed Masoud.
The webinar celebrated the launch of our second book of creative writing, ‘Seeds of Hope: More Thoughts and Reflections from Amos Trust’ with special guest Abdelfattah Abusrour from Alrowwad Cultural Centre in Aida Camp, Bethlehem and special guests Garth Hewitt, Martin Wroe, Jane Walker, Katie Hagley and Jill Howard-Gunasekera.
We are delighted to be joined by Palestinian author and lawyer Raja Shehadeh for this special interview and book reading on the 103rd anniversary of the Balfour Declaration. His book ‘Palestinian Walks’ first instilled in us a longing to walk in Palestine and was part of the inspiration behind our Just Walk To Jerusalem project back in 2017, when we walked to Palestine to apologise for the Balfour Declaration on its centenary.
