The third session: The session discusses pressing demographic risks: Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, Area “C,” and migration, with a focus on the most significant demographic risks facing the Palestinian reality, particularly the geopolitical transformations experienced by Jerusalemites as a result of Israeli occupation policies, which have been reflected in the political, economic, social, environmental, and demographic reality in Jerusalem and its outskirts. On the other hand, the session sheds light on demographic risks associated with the unbalanced geographical distribution of the population between urban and rural areas, forced internal population displacement especially from Area “C,” and the continued migration flows to urban areas in pursuit of economic and social objectives.
