An Unpredictable America and What It Means for the Middle East

Daniel Pipes, Founder and Chairman of the Middle East Forum, will assess a region in upheaval. He will open with its most dangerous flashpoints: Gaza, where the central question is whether Hamas will be vanquished or permitted to regroup, and Iran, where a deeply unpopular regime is under mounting strain from within and without. He will then examine Europe, where expanding Muslim communities, increasingly assertive Islamist organizations, and a growing civilizationist response are transforming politics across the continent, with implications for the United States as well. Pipes will conclude with his assessment of the Trump administration’s Middle East policies: what they have achieved for American interests, where they come up short, and what they portend for the year ahead. Throughout, he will bring five decades of scholarship to bear in distinguishing enduring trends from fleeting headlines.
