SUMMARY:The Hamas War: A Historical Perspective of Potential Implications and Lessons Learned
DESCRIPTION:[TRANSCRIPT WILL BE AVAILABLE HERE] \n\nIn his recent essay published in Mosaic Magazine\, The Hidden Calculation Behind the Yom Kippur War\, historian and foreign policy expert Michael Doran provides an in-depth analysis of mistakes made not just by the Israeli government but also by U.S. policy that led to Golda Meir’s fateful decision to not conduct a pre-emptive attack that may have ultimately saved Israeli lives. Doran observes that upon the surprise attack by Egyptian and Syrian forces\, “It suddenly became clear that Israel’s assumptions about its own strength\, the character of its enemies\, and the fundamental shape of the modern battlefield were erroneous.” Fast forward to the Hamas war that shocked Israel and the world on October 7th\, and once again it appears that Israel’s assumptions were once again inaccurate. Join us for an insightful conversation with Michael Doran on perhaps parallel mistakes in the lead-up to Hamas’ attack to those that occurred prior to the Yom Kippur war\, U.S. policy that both contributed to those mistakes and that may impair Israel’s full ability to fight this war to the win\, and lessons that may be learned in order to prevent future war. \nAbout the Speaker:  Michael Doran is a senior fellow and director of the Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East at Hudson Institute. He specializes in Middle East security issues and co-hosts the Counterbalance podcast. \nIn the administration of President George W. Bush\, Doran served in the White House as a senior director in the National Security Council\, where he was responsible for helping to devise and coordinate United States strategies on a variety of Middle East issues\, including Arab-Israeli relations and US efforts to contain Iran and Syria. He also served in the Bush administration as a senior advisor in the State Department and a deputy assistant secretary of defense in the Pentagon. \nBorn in Kokomo\, Indiana\, Doran went to elementary school in Carmel\, outside of Indianapolis\, before his family moved to Fullerton\, California\, where he graduated from Sunny Hills High School. He received a BA from Stanford University and an MA and PhD in Near Eastern studies from Princeton University. \nBefore coming to Hudson\, Doran was a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. He has also held teaching positions at New York University\, Princeton University\, and the University of Central Florida. His latest book\, Ike’s Gamble\, was published by Free Press in 2016. He appears frequently on television\, and has published extensively in Foreign Affairs\, the American Interest\, Commentary\, Mosaic\, the Wall Street Journal\,  the Washington Post\, and the New York Times.

SUMMARY:Israel vs. Iran: The Biden Administration’s Dangerous Mideast Policy that Confuses Friend from Foe
DESCRIPTION:Now that it has leaked that the Biden administration is pursuing a secret “deal” with Iran\, as Richard Goldberg discussed on EMET’s last webinar\, many questions arise. How did we get here? What motivated President Obama to sign the previous Iran deal (the JCPOA) and what is motivating President Biden to spend two-plus years working to elevate Iran while simultaneously criticizing Israel for internal political struggles rather than follow the Trump administration’s policies of ensuring Israel’s enemies know that she is unequivocally backed up by the United States? Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates famously remarked that Biden “has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” but with regard to Iran and Israel\, he is simply following in Obama’s footsteps of putting daylight between the U.S. and Israel and enabling Iranian hegemonic intentions in the region while abetting its terrorist activities. What does the Biden foreign policy mean for Israel and other U.S. allies in the region? What does it mean for U.S. national security interests? Join us for a discussion of all of these complicated yet critically important issues with foreign policy and national security expert Michael Doran whose most recent column\, “Biden’s Ties that Bind” is a must-read. \nAbout the speaker: Michael Doran is a senior fellow and director of the Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East at Hudson Institute.
