"Looking Ahead: What to Expect in the Middle East in 2024" Online Briefing Program

On February 8, 2024, the National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations hosted a discussion titled "Looking Ahead: What to Expect in the Middle East in 2024." The program featured former United States diplomats Ambassador (Ret.) Michael Gfoeller and Mr. David H. Rundell. It was moderated by Colonel (Ret.) Abbas K. Dahouk, with Mr. H. Delano Roosevelt, the President and CEO of the Council, joining them for the proceedings. The specialists provided analysis on the prospects of U.S. engagement with Iran and its proxies in the region after the recent deaths of three U.S. military service members in Jordan in an attack by the Iran-backed Popular Mobilization militia. The specialists also discussed the war in Gaza and prospects for a ceasefire agreement, looking in particular at U.S. diplomacy and Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s fifth visit to the region since the events of October 7, 2023.

The discussion can be viewed on the National Council's YouTube channel.
