Israel in a Post-October 7 World: A Conversation with Michael Kopolow, Chief Policy Officer, Israel Policy Forum
Wednesday, December 6, 7:30 PM
Following Hamas’ devastating October 7 attack, Israel faces an array of challenges, from destroying Hamas’ military capabilities to deterring Hizballah from opening up a second front in the north to preventing the West Bank from tipping over into chaos, and perhaps most of all, to do so following nearly a year of unprecedented governmental and societal upheaval. What might Israel’s responses to these challenges look like, and how will its choices shape not only Gaza, but the Israeli-Palestinian arena and the wider region for years to come? Please join us in the sanctuary or by live stream.
