Inside the Middle East | Navigating Through the Storm to the Horizon’s Edge with Avi Melamed

In the face of escalating conflict, the Middle East stands at a historic crossroads – a defining moment for Israel, the Palestinians and the region as a whole. In this pivotal briefing, we’ll navigate the storm of challenges shaping the Middle East today, a region profoundly influenced by deep-seated forces and unfolding events that impact not only Israel and the Palestinians but extend far beyond.

As conflicts intensify and stakes rise, understanding the core issues driving this crisis is essential. This briefing will explore the forces fueling the current war, including the roles of Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and other key players. We’ll trace the path that led to this critical moment and examine the implications for “the day after” – not just for Israel and the Palestinians, but for the region and the World.

By uncovering the intricate complexities beneath the surface, connecting past and present influences, and building a three-dimensional view of the region, we’ll guide you from the eye of the storm to the horizon’s edge. This briefing offers the clarity and the context needed to navigate these turbulent times and uncovers the valuable lessons this moment holds for the West.
