Inside The Middle East: Navigating Through the Storm to the Horizon’s Edge

November 21, 2024 @ 6:30 pm 8:30 pm

Avi Melamed


Avi Melamed returns to the North Peninsula with fresh insights, building upon last year’s impactful visit.

As the Middle East navigates a storm of unprecedented challenges, we stand at a pivotal juncture that will define the future of Israel, the Palestinians, and the entire region. In this critical briefing, we will delve deep into the forces driving these turbulent times, unravel the intricate complexities beneath the surface, and assess the far-reaching implications for both the region, and the world. By connecting the dots between past and present and all figures and forces, we’ll guide you from the eye of the storm to the horizon’s edge, offering clarity and context to help you navigate the rapidly unfolding events.

Avi Melamed, a former Israeli intelligence official and senior Arab affairs advisor, is a trilingual educator, analyst, and author specializing in contemporary Middle East geopolitics. Avi’s latest book “Inside The Middle East: Entering a New Era” has garnered global praise, including from the Arab world. In May 2023, ITME launched “The Seam Line,” a documentary series offering a unique perspective on the Jerusalem conflict and uncovering lesser-explored human dimensions of the Israeli-Palestinian issue within the broader Middle East context.
