The Arab Case for Israel and How to Get to Peace
Did October 7 bring Israel closer to peace with Arab governments that are still holding out on normalization with the Jewish state? Or did it push peace further away?
Hussain Abdul-Hussain argues in his book – The Arab Case for Israel – even if Arabs and Palestinians think that the creation and the existence of the State of Israel have caused them injustice – letting go and moving on serves their interests much better than trying to go back in time and fix it.
Join us for a reception and conversation with Hussain Abdul-Hussain.
