ISRAEL SERIES ON THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT:
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

Understanding the Recent Hostilities with Israel and Hamas
and its Implications for Israel’s Future

Thursday, June 3 - 3:00 PM EDT

More than 4,000 rockets were launched from Gaza into Israel recently. Why did these aggressions take place at this time?  What does this mean for peacemaking efforts, including a two-state outcome, and coexistence? As it works to form a new government, where does Israel go from here?
