The Middle East Comes to Town

Expectations for Obama's Visits with Netanyahu, Abbas, and Mubarak

 
 

On the eve of the trips to Washington by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, the Obama administration will begin to articulate and get into the weeds on a new Middle East peace policy. Next Monday, May 11th at 11:45am, the New America Foundation will preview these visits--what might happen, what should happen, and what it all means.

The Middle East Task Force Directors Daniel Levy and Amjad Atallah will be joined by Shibley Telhami, Anwar Sadat Professor for Peace and Development at the University of Maryland, and Rob Malley, Director of the Middle East and North Africa Program at the International Crisis Group, to walk us through expectations for the next two weeks.
