Florentino Portero analyses the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that has led to the war in Gaza. The current war in Gaza, which pits the Islamist organisation Hamas against the State of Israel, is presented to us as a multifaceted conflict characterised by the complexity of its nature. The terrorist attack on Israel is also a challenge to the legitimacy of the Palestinian Authority as the representative of this people and to the idea, held since 1947, that the solution to the conflict involves the creation of two states. Throughout this session of the cycle Pensar el S.XXI the subject is approached from an analytical perspective, considering geopolitical factors, international relations and possible strategic implications. Florentino Portero is a historian and analyst of Spanish foreign policy and contemporary international relations. President of the Spanish Committee for the Pan-European Union; senior researcher in the Area of International Policy and member of the Advisory Board of the Fundación Civismo, the Institute for Security and Culture and the Fundación Trasforma España; member of the Board of Directors of the Civil Society Forum and of the Academic Commission of the Fundación Transición Española.
