The 2006 war between Israel and Lebanon forged a new political dynamic in the Middle East. Israel and Hezbollah established unofficial rules of engagement that secured peace through the logic of deterrence. These rules are now under question as decision-makers grapple with new regional dynamics and we are witness to military escalation across the Levant and the Middle East. Join us for a round table conversation for what these dynamics portend for Iran, Israel, and the region with Daniel Sobelman, Assistant Professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Hussein Kalout, Project Associate and Research Scholar at the Center of Middle Eastern Studies, Harvard University.
