For nearly three weeks, Israel has grappled with confrontations from both the south and, more recently, the north. What does it mean for Israel to engage on two fronts? And could there be yet another arena to the east?

Join us for an insightful Hebrew University Zoom Webinar titled "Israel-Gaza-Lebanon: Where Are We Going?," on Sunday, 29th October 2023 18:30 IT (/17:30 CET), featuring our distinguished faculty members:

HAFTEL (Moderator) - the Giancarlo Elia Valori Chair in the Study of Peace and Regional Cooperation in the Department of International Relations at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His research agenda touches on the sources, design, and effects of international organizations (IOs) and international investment agreements (IIAs). He has published a book on the relationships between the institutionalization of regional economic organizations (REOs) and regional peace. His recent work examines such topics as the evolution of the global investment regime, the effect of economic crises on IO durability and performance, and the relationships between overlap and authority of IOs.
