War with Iran: A view from Israel

Please join the Middle East Institute (MEI) for a webinar exploring Israeli views of the war in the Middle East.

Two-and-a-half weeks after the United States and Israel launched a military campaign against Iran, how do Israeli leaders and the public assess the course of the war? What might the conflict’s aftermath produce, and how may Israel try to position itself over the following months and years? Where do Israelis see US-Israeli relations and the policies of their regional neighbors headed after the fighting ends?

An expert discussion on these and related issues will feature Dr. Eyal Hulata, former Israeli National Security Advisor, and Colonel Miri Eisin (Ret.), former Israeli intelligence officer and former advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. MEI Senior Fellow Natan Sachs will moderate.
