Dear Friends,,
For months, J Street has supported the White House’s strong focus on preventing the Israel-Hamas war from spiraling into a catastrophic regional war.
Concerningly – with Hezbollah attacking Israel in the north and Israel striking targets in Lebanon, the Houthis mounting a shipping blockade in the Red Sea and retaliatory US and UK strikes, ongoing attacks on US bases in Iraq, and violence continuing to boil over in the West Bank – the risk of escalation on those fronts continues to rise.
To navigate a path away from escalation, it’s essential to understand the relevant actors and their motivations and interests – and we’re excited to be joined by two expert analysts next Tuesday for a conversation with our own expert on the region, J Street Director of Policy Dr. Debra Shushan.
The Risk of Regional Escalation

Tuesday, January 16

Dr. Gil Murciano is the CEO of Israel-based think-tank Mitvim and a leading researcher on Iran interests, motivations and allies in the region. Mona Yacoubian is Vice President of the Middle East and North Africa Center at the United States Institute of Peace.
Together, they’ll take us behind the curtain to understand what’s driving further destabilization as the Israel-Hamas war rages, and how the United States can best defend its interests and prevent further escalation.
