Amid rising tensions with Iran, recognition that the U.S.-Saudi relationship needs to be reset, deepening Israeli-Palestinian distrust, and dissolution of the year-old Israeli coalition government, President Biden will soon be making his first visit as President to the Middle East, with consultations and special events in Israel, the West Bank, and Saudi Arabia. What can be reasonably expected of the President’s trip? What impact could it have on overall U.S. strategic objectives? And what could it portend for a widening of the circle of Arab-Israeli peace?

Join Kirsten Fontenrose, President of Red Six International, Senior Fellow of the Atlantic Council, and U.S. National Security Council Senior Director (2018); Dr. Eran Lerman, Vice President of the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security and Israeli National Security Council Deputy Director (2009-15); and Dr. Omar Al-Ubaydli, Director of Research at the Bahrain Center for Strategic, International and Energy Studies to examine these questions and more.

This program will take place at 10:00 AM Chicago time.
