Nadav Tamir, consul general of Israel to New England, will discuss "The New Paradigm in the Middle East."
Historically, conflict in the Middle East was defined by the struggle between Israel and the Arab world. Today, a new conflict has emerged between pragmatic moderates and fanatical extremists. Set against the backdrop of bourgeoning extremism, how can we face the threats while at the same time infuse hope, and identify the moderate forces seeking to cultivate peace and stability in the region? Consul General Tamir will address these questions and explore how hew initiatives may provide opportunities for progress in the quest for peace in the region.
