Nearly two months into Israel’s multi-front military campaign against Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon, the country’s social and security landscape is marked by contradiction. Recent opinion polls indicate opposition to the ceasefire, despite a broader national mood of strategic fatigue and pessimism about the state of the war.
Polling also indicates that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has gained no political leverage during the war and lacks a coalition. With elections likely in October, significant questions remain as to how Israel’s wars in Iran and Lebanon have, and will continue, to shape the domestic political sphere.
In this webinar, speakers examine possible political, military and security trajectories for Israel, and the implications of Israel’s shifting relationships with the United States, Europe, and Gulf Arab states.
