We are glad to welcome back Prof. Meron Medzini, direct from Israel, to Park via Zoom to discuss this most important topic that is on so many people’s minds. Fifty years apart. Israel was caught in surprise attacks leading to two extensive wars. During the lecture we will learn about the similarities and differences between the two wars. what led to each surprise, and the Israel military, political and social response. In addition, Prof. Medzini will discuss the important role the US had (and still has) in shaping the outcome of the war and the region.
