One month into the war, our panel of experts, including Aryeh Lightstone, the former special envoy for economic normalization for the Abraham Accords; Ruth Yaron, a former spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and a senior diplomat in the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs; and JPPI Senior Fellow Avi Gil, engage in a discussion regarding Arab diplomacy in navigating the Israel-Hamas war. The central questions at hand revolve around whether this conflict will strengthen existing relations, strain, or potentially fracture the recently established Arab-Israeli regional coalition.
Additionally, they examine the tensions between diplomatic objectives and the pursuit of military goals, as well as the complexities surrounding the hostage situation and the political implications once the war reaches its conclusion.
