MEF & AJU Present: Israel’s 7 Fronts – Gaza
This is part 3 of our 7-part series.
Tehran not only dominates four Arabic-speaking countries (Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen) but has reached new levels of aggression in the past half-year, starting with the Oct. 7 atrocity and followed by the bombing of Pakistan, impeding commerce in the Red Sea, and a drone and missile attack on Israel. Khamenei aspires to build a “Ring of Fire” around Israel, mobilizing seven territories working together to bring about Israel’s destruction. How successful is this plan? Does the sum add up to more than the parts? How can Israel most effectively respond?
Come together with the Middle East Forum and American Jewish University for an illuminating seven-part series exploring Israel’s multifaceted challenges across seven distinct fronts.
Daniel Pipes has led the Middle East Forum since its founding in 1994. He served in five U.S. administrations, received two presidential appointments, and testified before many congressional committees. Pipes is the author of 16 books on the Middle East, Islam, and writes a column for the Washington Times and the Spectator; his work has been translated into 39 languages. Al-Qaeda invited Mr. Pipes to convert and Edward Said called him an “Orientalist.”
Dr. Jeffrey Herbst, the fourth president of American Jewish University (AJU), is an advocate for academic innovation. His leadership at AJU includes fostering growth in the Maas Center for Jewish Journeys, expanding the Maven digital platform, and improving the Brandeis-Bardin Campus.
