Public Forum on Israel-Gaza War: One Year Later

Event Description 

October 7, 2024, marks the somber anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel and the subsequent Israel-Gaza War. These events are widely viewed as a transformative moment both in the Middle East and for international affairs more broadly. Join us for a panel discussion to examine the political and moral significance of this topic with four experts who will address different aspects of the topic, including recent events in Lebanon marked by the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah. This event is envisioned as a public forum. Audience participation is both welcome and encouraged.
