Abstract

The Gaza War has revived interest in the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. For over half a century, various actors have unsuccessfully conducted, promoted, or supported negotiations for its resolution. This article explores the current situation, the changes in the practice of international mediation, and the rise of the emerging powers to inquire about the prospects for a mediated solution to this conflict and the potential role of Brazil.
