Hamas and Israel: How did we get here? What next? (Canberra)

Arab affairs expert Elhanan Miller breaks down the calculations and miscalculations that bought Israel and Hamas to October 7th to better understand what may lie ahead.

Israel and Hamas both marched toward October 7, 2023, with eyes wide open. Arab affairs expert Rabbi Elhanan Miller argues that the unprecedented war, which unfolded over the past year, was the outcome of strategies that worked well for both sides in the past. Closely analysing the public discourse of Israeli and Hamas leaders, we will learn about the calculations and miscalculations that led us to the current moment. As well as exploring what may lie ahead.

This event is being held in partnership with the ACT Jewish Community.
