Please join MEF for our webinar offerings next week (6/1-6/5).
The Middle East Forum presents next week's webinars:
"It's Time for a US-Israel Mutual Defense Pact" with Michael Makovsky
Israeli governments have always resisted the idea of defense treaty with the United States. But circumstances have changed and both sides would now benefit from a carefully crafted agreement. It would elevate Israel’s status as an official U.S. ally, deter or mitigate conflict with Iran, frontload the Obama MoU’s military assistance to Israel, replenish U.S. stockpiles of vital precision munitions in Israel, and explore new R&D frontiers.

He has written for many publications and is the author of Churchill’s Promised Land. "Israel Insider" with Ashley Perry
The Palestinian Authority often threatens to cut relations with Israel but until now has not carried through; will this time be different? If so, what will that mean for Israel and its relations with the Arab states?

"Turkish Threats to Greece"
with John Nomikos
Greek-Turkish relations are going from bad to worse. The Erdoğan regime wages “no war–no peace" operations in the Aegean Sea by constantly violating Greek sovereignty. It encourages illegal migrants to cross into Greek territory. It unilaterally annexed a large tract of the eastern Mediterranean Sea as its exclusive economic zone to explore for natural gas. What are the dangers of conflagration? How can this be avoided? What policies should the Trump administration adopt?
