We congratulate Dr. Sapir Handelman (Minds of Peace, Congress of the People) our partner on this journey towards conflict resolution, on his various recent accomplishments.
Congress of the People:
A Chinese report covered a negotiating session where about 120 Israelis and Palestinians negotiated competitive solutions to the conflict in the Truman Institute, Hebrew University. The report gained about 1.54 million views.
The most prestigious publisher in China is publishing series of interviews. The book includes an interview with Dr. Handelman.
The Congress of the people have invited a council of 120 Israelis and Palestinians to negotiate different solutions to the conflict in different locations. After the Corona crisis, we intend to conduct the First Convention of The Congress – Hundreds of Israelis and Palestinians will discuss the agreements and vote in ballot boxes.
Minds of Peace & the Charney resolution Center have organized and led the initiative.
Academia:
Dr. Handelman introduced interactive models of peacemaking and negotiation in two academic articles. He is revising the manuscripts for publication in two prestigious academic journals, one of which belongs to Harvard University.
NegoFlict:
Dr. Handelman together with Nir Caftori – an Israeli IT leader, former CIO and VP at Amdocs (DOX) and the IDC (Israeli first private University) have founded NegoFlict. NegoFlict suggests an online platform for Short Term Solution Focused Negotiation and Problem Solving. It will be available to the public in 2021.
NegoFlict combines Shuttle Negotiation, Human in the Loop, and Computer aided Negotiation technologies. Prototype of the app and web-based solution are currently being developed by two teams of engineering students from the Technion, the leading Israeli Institute of Technology.
