The Israel-Hamas War: One Year In

Announced by the University of Pittsburgh

One year after Hamas' horrific attack on Israel on October 7 and the ensuing war in Gaza, over 40,000 Palestinians have died, dozens of Israelis are still being held hostage, and a ceasefire agreement remains unrealized. Meanwhile, the conflict’s expansion to Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran has further destabilized the region, raising the threat of a full-scale war in the Middle East. To help us understand the short and long term implications of these developments and paths to peace, the Crown Center is hosting a panel discussion with three distinguished scholars with different perspectives, Shai Feldman, Abdel Monem Said Aly, and Khalil Shikaki, co-authors of the innovative textbook, Arabs and Israelis: Conflict and Peacemaking in the Middle East
