Understanding the Hamas War on Israel

Description

Hamas managed to pull off a surprise attack on Israel, leading to many casualties and political consequences. What does this mean for Israel’s domestic debate? For the rapprochement with Saudi Arabia? For the Palestinian Authority? Will it lead to fundamental changes in Israel’s security establishment? Will Hamas survive? How will Hezbollah respond? And what about Israel's Muslim citizens?

To make sense of this complex, fast-moving scene, the Middle East Forum will host a roundtable discussion for a full hour on Monday. Participants will include Daniel Pipes, MEF’s president; Jonathan Spyer, the director of research; and Nave Dromi, the director of MEF-Israel. Gregg Roman, MEF’s director, will moderate.
