‘The New Middle East: One Year After the First Flotilla’ event took place on the 24th of June, 2011, at SETA Foundation in Washington, DC with the participation of Nuh Yılmaz, Noura Erakat, and Yigal Schleifer. The panel was moderated by Kılıç Buğra Kanat. The event occurred while an international coalition of 22 NGOs was organizing a second flotilla with the name of Freedom Flotilla II, which was scheduled to sail on July 5, 2011. Although the second flotilla ultimately failed to materialize, the issue of the flotilla has continued to have major effects on both regional politics in general and Israeli- Turkish relations in particular. In this panel, panelists seek to answer questions, such as ’What kind of an impact did the first flotilla have on the region as a whole?’, ‘Given the new regional dynamics in light of the Arab Spring, in what ways is the second flotilla different?’ , ‘What are the implications for the Palestinian problem?’ and discuss the New Middle East a year after the first flotilla and in the wake of the Arab Spring.
