Talk on the ship with Karim El-Gawhary

Talk on the Ship - SOLD OUT

THE MIDDLE EAST CRISIS – Update

Last fall, the situation in the Middle East was still extremely unclear.

Since then, decisive developments have taken place: a “peace” brokered by Donald Trump, new military realities, and shifting power dynamics—all amid growing uncertainty about the region’s future.

At the Talk am Schiff, Karim El-Gawhary, one of the most renowned experts on the Middle East, will once again assess the current situation:

• Are Israel’s military successes strategically sustainable?

• How is the situation in the Gaza Strip evolving in the wake of Hamas?

• What role do Iran, Hezbollah, and the Arab world play?

• Is the question of a Palestinian state returning to the center of political discourse?

• What does all this mean for Europe’s immediate neighborhood?

Everything is in flux. This event aims to help contextualize the dynamics, ruptures, and possible trajectories of the region—in a well-founded, nuanced way that goes beyond the daily headlines. THE MIDDLE EAST CRISIS HOTSPOT
