Hilik Bar MK is Secretary General of the Israeli Labour Party, the Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, and the leader of the Knesset all party group for a two state solution. He spoke to a Fathom Forum in London in September 2013 about the current peace talks, explaining why the settlements have not killed the two state solution, the importance of the Arab League Peace Initiative, the need for the international community to control Hamas, and the work of the Knesset two-state caucus.
