‘War, Empire and Sabotage in an Age of Genocide’ was the theme of this year’s 2026 British Society for Middle Eastern Studies (@OfficialBrismes) Annual Conference, the largest academic network in Europe focused on the study of the Middle East and North Africa.
More than two and a half years since the start of the genocide in Gaza, we spoke to academics about how they are addressing it in their research.
The conference was held at @SOAS from 23–25 June 2026, co-hosted by the @SOAS_MEI, and supported by The New Arab as an official Bronze Sponsor.

I was pleased to join Inside Story on AlJazeera English to discuss the growing challenges facing the U.S.-backed Gaza peace process.
Is the US-backed Gaza peace process in serious danger? https://t.co/BG8FAGaYUt via @AJEnglish
Daily Israeli breaches of the Gaza ceasefire agreement threaten the entire peace process, says the Qatari prime minister, who helped broker the deal forged by Donald Trump.
So, what's gone wrong?
