The War in Gaza: What Does It Mean for the Greater Middle East

In this IIEA panel, three experts discusses the conflict in Gaza and its broader implications for the regional stability of the Greater Middle East. As the conflict continues, regional actors in the Arab Gulf and the Levant, have stepped up their activities threatening a widening of the conflict beyond the present battlespace. Meanwhile, global powers have increased their own military activities in the region. Throughout the discussion, this panel explores what the conflict means not only for the Middle East, but also for global politics. Speakers in this panel include Rita Sakr, Assistant Professor at Maynooth University Raphael S. Cohen, Director of the Strategy and Doctrine Program at RAND’s Project AIR FORCE Marwan Muasher, Vice President for Studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
