CITpax organised a conference, in Castilla-La Mancha University (Toledo), which focused on analysing the implications of Israeli unilateralism, as promoted by Ariel Sharon, on the disengagement from Gaza Strip. During the conference, the main difficulties related to the viability of the peace proposals put forward by the respective civil groups, as well as the paralysis of negotiations for a final settlement. Conclusions reflected the need to promote the building of new bridges and to pursue mutual understanding as a means of overcoming the patterns that lead to confrontation.
