The Iran War and a New Middle East Featuring Michael Sharnoff
05 May @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Join us for a dinner, presentation, and discussion with Michael Sharnoff.
The Middle East is going through a major period of change. Since October 7, the Israel–Hamas war, fragile ceasefire in Gaza, and rising tensions between Israel, Iran, and its regional partners have reshaped the region in important ways. At the same time, efforts to build new ties between Israel and Arab states through the Abraham Accords have slowed but not ended. This talk looks at what has changed, what might come next, and why it matters for peace and stability in the region and beyond.
Cost: $15 per person
Dinner will be a Moby Dick buffet. Please select one: meat or chicken, salmon, or falafel.
Register by May 3.
