La Universita' La Sapienza ha promosso un accordo tra le università israeliane
di Haifa, Gerusalemme e Tel Aviv e quella palestinese di Al Quds per un master
in cooperazione internazionale rivolto a 20 giovani laureati israeliani e
palestinesi. Le tematiche affrontate saranno quelle delle relazioni
internazionali, degli affari umanitari, della salute pubblica, della tutela
dell'ambiente, dell'economia, della tutela dei beni culturali e dell’
agricoltura.

La storica firma è avvenuta a Gerusalemme presso l’Unità tecnica locale della
direzione generale alla Cooperazione e lo sviluppo del nostro Ministero degli
Affari esteri. L'iniziativa, sostenuta dalla Cooperazione italiana e
patrocinata dall’Unesco, rappresenta un unicum nella collaborazione
istituzionale tra gli atenei palestinesi e quelli israeliani.

Il programma del master prevede un primo periodo di attività accademiche in
loco e successivamente una fase di specializzazione a Roma presso la Sapienza.

Vi allego, per il vostro diletto, un tagli-e-cuci dei meriti scientifici
grazie ai quali le tre universita' israeliane sono state premiate con lo
'storico accordo'. In allegato l'intero studio che documenta come tutte le
universita' israeliane siano complici dell'occupazione e della militarizzazione
della societa' israeliana. In attesa di vedere la reazione della societa'
civile e accademica palestinese al coinvolgimento dell'universita' di Al Quds.
