About the Event
What did Israel achieve and fail to achieve in the Iran War? What are the broader consequences of the war for Israel in the regional and global context? What impact will the war have on Israel's relationships with the United States and Europe? What factors will determine Israel's next steps in Iran and Lebanon (and perhaps Yemen)? How has the war impacted Israeli domestic politics? How has the war impacted Gaza and the West Bank?
Please join us for a discussion with one of Israel's leading national security experts regarding these and other key issues implicated by the Iran war.
