2 Jan 2024 – Israel, despite a transparent genocidal onslaught in Gaza that has gone on for more than three months, may find itself cornered: unable to prevail, unable to accept defeat. What then?

Wed, 10 Jan, 7 PM EasternThe Gaza War, Short & Long-Term Diplomatic Imperatives and Implications for the Middle East and Geopolitics, with panelists Richard Falk, Irene Gendzier, and Assaf Kfoury

Discussing: What must be done to end the war? To prevent escalation to a still more catastrophic regional war? To begin the difficult diplomacy to ensure the rights, dignity, and security of both the Palestinian and Israeli peoples? To create U.S. policies that defuse rather than exacerbate militarism, divisions, and tensions across the Middle East?
