Organized by the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies (CCAS)

"The US-Israeli war on Iran continues to have damaging consequences across the region. Ongoing wars waged on Lebanon and Palestine persist with no clear end in sight. This open forum seeks to provide a critical analysis of the state of the Middle East with perspectives on how regional actors have responded to the devastating impacts and developments of the assaults.

"What themes have been missing in the mainstream media coverage of this aggression and the Middle East? What aspects of this story are absent in the American foreign policy debate? Georgetown faculty and local experts will answer these questions during this open forum.
