In early October, Biden officials boasted that the Middle East was the calmest it has been in years and were seeking to build on the Trump administration's normalization agreements between Israel and Arab states. The October 7th attack by Hamas, the subsequent Israeli campaign that has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians, and accelerating attacks between the U.S. and militias with ties to Iran have upended that notion and have brought the region to the brink of total war. Today, Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the Middle East is more dangerous than at any point since 1973.
Join us on Thursday, February 15, 2024, at 12:00 pm ET for a virtual discussion with top experts in the field to discuss policy options for the Biden administration in the midst of an election year, solutions for ending the war in Gaza and preventing a regional war with Iran, and how to address the roots of conflict plaguing the Middle East:
