Israel faces mounting challenges on multiple fronts in an increasingly complex security environment. The Trump administration’s postwar plan for Gaza has sparked debate over Israel’s long-term strategy, while instability in Syria continues to threaten regional security. Meanwhile, Washington’s evolving approach to the Middle East raises key questions about the future of the United States’ relations with Israel and the region more broadly.

Hudson Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East Director Michael Doran will sit down with Member of the Israeli Knesset Amit Halevi for a conversation on these issues.
