‘The View From Jerusalem’

An Endowment for Middle East Truth (EMET) Webinar

Alex Traiman
(Oct. 31, 2023 / JNS)

Join a candid discussion with JNS bureau chief and Middle East analyst Alex Traiman, who speaks about the objectives and the endgame of this current conflict—why Israel must fight, the roles of Iran and Qatar, whether or not Hezbollah will get involved, whether or not the Palestinian residents of Judea and Samaria will be involved, and whether or not this will become a regional conflagration.
