MEPF: Remaining in the back seat? Europe’s Role in the Middle East
Institute For Middle East Studies
Dr. Asseburg and Dr. Bahout join the Middle East Policy Forum for a discussion moderated by Dr. Tamara Wittes on how Europe is approaching policy issues in the Middle East in light of new American leadership and a declining role in the region. Focusing on critical issues like the conclusion of the Syrian civil war and the Palestinian-Israeli peace process, our panelists will examine European countries’ role in resolving present conflicts.
