A host of top commentators will be marking 20 years since the signing of the Oslo Accords by debating the prospects for a two-state solution to the Middle East conflict.

Columnist Melanie Phillips, Bicom chief executive James Sorene, lecturer David Hirsh, peace activist Ahmed Meligy, and bloggers David Collier and Brian John Thomas will discuss "The two-state solution: dead or alive?"

The event, in north London on May 5, is organised by grassroots group Campaign4Truth.

Founder member Sharon Klaff said: "Twenty years after the Oslo Accords, with people still talking about the two-state solution and why it hasn't worked, we thought it was an appropriate time to have a debate bringing in all sides - from those who believe that the two-state solution is the answer to the Middle East to those who believe there is no solution."
