Description

The Trump administration entered office with the Middle East engulfed in conflict following Hamas’ invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023. Though the Twelve Days War between Israel and Iran has ended, the broader struggle to reshape the region is far from over.

Join The Heritage Foundation and the Conference of Christian Presidents for Israel for a timely and strategic discussion on the future of U.S. interests in the Middle East. This wide-ranging event will explore how America can advance its national interests—strengthening national security, boosting economic prosperity, and reinforcing military power—while standing firmly with our ally, Israel, in the years ahead.
