A Lecture Series Exploring a Region in Transformation

The Middle East is undergoing one of the most significant shifts of the past decade. After two years of war, the region is stepping into a new era — one marked by rising expectations, renewed diplomatic engagement, and complex realignments.

For the first time, Arab and Muslim countries are poised to play a direct role in shaping the future of Gaza. What will this mean for Israel’s relationship with its neighbors? Who will ultimately influence Gaza’s future — former supporters of Hamas or states that distanced themselves long ago? Will the Abraham Accords expand into Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, or will the recent conflict continue to cast a long shadow over regional diplomacy?

This course offers a rare, in-depth look at the forces reshaping the Middle East today. Participants will gain fresh insights into regional politics, economics, culture, and media. Each session will be led by top experts, researchers, cultural figures, policymakers, and practitioners from Israel and across the Middle East — bringing firsthand perspectives from those shaping the region’s future.
