C. Milborn, M. Anwar E. Sadat, M. Abusada, W. Petritsch, T. Lang: BRUNO KREISKY AND THE MIDDLE EAST

Zum 115. Geburtstag von Bruno Kreisky/ Honoring the 115th Birthday of Bruno Kreisky Der Mut zum Unvollendeten/ The Courage to Embrace the Unfinished Corinna Milborn in conversation with Mohammad Anwar Esmat Sadat, Mkhaimar Abusada, Wolfgang Petritsch and Tobias Lang BRUNO KREISKY AND THE MIDDLE EAST BUILDING DIPLOMACY AND RECONSTRUCTING PEACE Peace and security in the Middle East, that was Bruno Kreisky’s conviction in the light of the challenges of the 1960s and 1970s, could not be reached without a Two-State-Solution, the negotiation between and coexistence of the State of Israel and Palestine. After decades of efforts to build relations, many chances and opportunities for such a solution have been missed or sabotaged on various sides. We take the opportunity to look into the past as well as into the future! In a first part, we look at Kreisky’s relations with Egypt, a crucial player when it comes to the Middle East’s peace and security arrangements. Due to Kreisky’s close relationship and friendship with Mohammad Anwar SADAT (1918-1981), he supported him on his path to the Camp David Agreement. Here, we explore “Sadat’s Austrian road to Jerusalem” and what strategic interests Austria and Egypt do also share today in the Middle East. In a second part, the panel will look into Gaza and the Middle East after October 7. Despite a “Trump Deal Peace Plan”, perspectives for peace seem unclear. The challenges for overcoming trauma and re-building trust, a two-state solution and reconstruction are enormous. What role could Austria play in this multilevel re-construction process?
