Event Details
The current war between Israel and Hamas is a defining moment in the Middle East. As the world grapples with the escalating conflict, understanding the core issues becomes vital. Are we fully aware of what fuels this war? What led us to this critical juncture? Are we heading towards an expanding multi-front war? How does the Arab world view this war? What does “the day after” look like? What implications does it hold for the region? What are the lessons for the West?
In this unique briefing, we will unravel the complexities of this crucial chapter with clear, in-depth, contextualized, and holistic analysis. This distinct apolitical briefing provides a nuanced contextualization of this moment in the histories of Israel, Palestinians, and the Middle East, as well as guides us through the labyrinth of events and their potential aftermath.
A livestream option will be available.
