The October 7th attacks marked a watershed moment in Middle Eastern history, setting off a chain reaction that has reshaped regional dynamics. This pivotal briefing will explore the factors leading up to October 7th and analyze the subsequent events that have transformed the geopolitical landscape.

We will examine the roles of key state and non-state actors—including Iran, Turkey, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and various militias—assessing how their interactions have evolved since the attacks. Together, we’ll trace the path leading to this critical juncture, explore how the Arab world perceives these evolving conflicts, and assess the near- and long-term outlook for the region.

As conflicts intensify and multiple stakeholders pursue competing interests, understanding the core issues driving this crisis is essential. By uncovering the intricate complexities beneath the surface—linking historical legacies, present dynamics, and future implications—this briefing provides a comprehensive, multi-dimensional perspective of the region.

Join Avi Melamed , former Israeli intelligence officer, author, educator and media personality, as he navigates from the eye of the storm to the horizon’s edge, offering clarity, context, and empowering insights to help you navigate these turbulent times.

AVIS think tank, "Inside The Middle East", offers non-partisan, apolitical analysis, inspiring attendees to engage with the complex and emerging issues. You will learn HOW to approach issues in the Middle East, without telling you WHAT to think.
