SUMMARY:The Middle East in Transition with Ghaith al-Omari
DESCRIPTION:We welcome Ghaith al-Omari\, Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation senior fellow\, Washington Institute for Near East Policy. \nThe Middle East is a region of profound historical\, political\, and cultural complexity and currently faces many challenges to future stability. Several key issues dominate the region\, including the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas\, the fall of the Assad regime in Syria\, ongoing civil wars in Yemen and Libya\, and continuing regional antagonism from Iran. While these issues remain complex\, and ongoing violence heartbreaking\, Mr. al-Omari will offer insights on potential ways forward\, framed by his deep experience in the region. \nA reception for this event will take place from 5 – 6pm. Join us and meet other community members interested in the world. \nLocation and Parking \nThe program will take place at the Gerald R.
