Gaza and America's Role in the Middle East
Israel's war in Gaza following the October 7 attack by Hamas has produced a humanitarian catastrophe with no end in sight, with conflict escalating into Lebanon and reverberating across the broader Middle East. Is it too late for a two state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? Can a broader regional war still be averted? How did U.S. policies in the Middle East fail to prevent these disasters, and what can the new administration do to help create a more stable, peaceful and just region?
Marc Lynch, Ph.D., political science professor at George Washington University and visiting scholar at The Ohio State University's Mershon Center, presents Ohio Wesleyan's 35th annual John Kennard Eddy Memorial Lecture on World Politics.
This year this lecture is also co-sponsored by the Sagan National Colloquium.
