A Region Aflame: October 7 A Year Later

One year after Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel, the fallout continues to reverberate across the Middle East. Israelis continue to grapple with profound trauma and an ongoing hostage crisis, and tens of thousands of Gazans have died while the area lies in ruins. Meanwhile, new fronts in the conflict have emerged in Lebanon, Iran, and Yemen, stoking fears of a wider regional war and highlighting the limitations of international peace efforts.
On the one-year anniversary of the October 7 attack, please join the CSIS Middle East Program and International Security Program for a discussion of the impact of the year’s events on regional security and likely pathways forward. The event will feature a roundtable with Dr. Dana El Kurd, assistant professor of politics at the University of Richmond, Dr. Natan Sachs, director of the Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution, Dr. Daniel Byman, senior fellow in the CSIS Warfare, Irregular Threats, and Terrorism Program, and Dr. Jon B. Alterman, CSIS senior vice president and Middle East Program director. Together, the scholars will explore such issues as the war’s effects on Israeli and Palestinian politics, Israel’s evolving concept of victory, and paths forward for regional de-escalation.
This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.

I love this collaborative format - much better than a debate, podcast or lecture.

[@mephilees7866]

yes, I was surprised at the civilized discussion. Expected narrative driven hogwash...

Hmm sounds like an anti Net commentary bias
