PRESIDENT ISAAC HERZOG ON THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR AND ITS IMPACT ON DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN POLICY - Please join us for an #ACFrontPage conversation with Israeli President Isaac Herzog on the October 7 Hamas attack and subsequent war in Gaza. The president will offer his perspective on military progress and the hostage situation, the conflict’s humanitarian challenges and economic impact in Israel, and Israel’s future relations with other Middle East states and global partners.
Israel is now undertaking military operations in the southern part of Gaza in pursuit of its goal to destroy Hamas. Meanwhile, aid distribution in Gaza has been interrupted by the resumption of military activity—and the region’s fears that the conflict could expand regionally continue to rise.
