The future of the Palestinian refugees remains one of the key stumbling blocks to a peace deal in the Middle East. While the world's attention is focused once again on events in the Occupied Territories, it is the fate of the 'external' refugees which is emerging as the most complex challenge for Israel and the Palestinian leadership. Nowhere is this more evident than in Lebanon, one of the region's most fragile states. Based on recent fieldwork, this lecture will explore the situation of the refugees in Lebanon and consider the commonly raised options for resolution of this 60 year crisis.

Dr Kylie Baxter is a researcher at the National Centre of Excellence for Islamic Studies at the University of Melbourne.
