"Between Iran and a Hard Place: The Escalating Threat of War Between Israel and Iran"
Briefing Call with Yossi Alpher, Israeli Strategic Affairs Expert
Tuesday,
August 21, 11:00 AM (EST)
Call in number: 213-342-3000
Access code: 332479
Belligerent statements by Israeli Primer Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak on the potential for war between Israel and Iran are fueling headlines worldwide and have triggered public debate in Israel about the viability, benefit, and price of such a conflict. As prospects for a preventative Israeli attack against Iranian nuclear facilities continue to increase, the implications for Israel, US foreign policy, and the Middle East in general have become more numerous and densely complex by the day.
Join Israeli strategic affairs expert Yossi Alpher in a discussion of recent developments, including Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta's trip to Israel, the appointment of Avi Dichter as Israeli Home Front Minister, President Shimon Peres' comments opposing an Israeli attack without US assistance, and the leaked report of Israel's alleged attack plans.
Alpher will also lay out a clear picture of how the hostile actions and rhetoric between Israel and Iran tie into Israeli politics, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Hezbollah, Syria, and Egypt.
