What will Nasrallah’s death mean for the Middle East?
The Middle East presents a set of urgent policy questions to the winner of the U.S. presidential election. Most pressingly: how to de-escalate the region’s widening conflicts. A year after Hamas’s devastating October 7 attack, the Israeli military response has laid waste to Gaza, and U.S. efforts to achieve a cease-fire have stalled. Meanwhile, 101 Israelis continue to be held hostage in Gaza, the humanitarian catastrophe in the strip is worsening, violence in the West Bank is expanding, and recent weeks have seen intensified conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon and northern Israel.
On Tuesday, October 8, the Foreign Policy program at Brookings and the Council on Foreign Relations will co-host an analytical discussion of U.S. policy and the future of the Middle East as part of a series of virtual events convened by Brookings and CFR in the lead-up to Election Day. A panel of Brookings and CFR experts will discuss the ways an incoming U.S. administration might approach the region’s tangle of ongoing conflicts, among other policy priorities.
