Who Won the Argument? Reading the Midterm Map on Iran and Israel

Please join Gregg Roman, Executive Director of the Middle East Forum, for a private lunch ten days after Americans choose a new Congress. Three stories collide in the results. The first is the political map: which committee chairs now hold the Iran sanctions and Israel aid files, and which members won on platforms built to isolate Israel or to pull America out of the region. The second is Tehran’s response: a regime that survived the war and is already courting the new members most likely to give it sanctions relief. The third began on California’s campuses, where the Forum’s Campus Watch has tracked the anti-Israel movement for two decades and watched it graduate from encampments into caucus seats. Gregg will connect the three, show where the far left and the isolationist right now vote together, and lay out the Forum’s plan for the lame-duck session and the first hundred days of the new Congress.
