as posted by the channel

Israel and Iran have been in a proxy conflict for decades, but it escalated to a new level this year during the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. Now, with rising tensions and new rocket strikes by Iran and the Iran-backed group Hezbollah, which is allied with Hamas, world leaders are watching closely and wondering if Israel should take military action against Iran. Those who believe Israel should attack Iran argue that the country is an existential threat to Israel’s existence. Iran has been growing as an influence in the Middle East, and their support of organizations such as Hamas and the Houthis causes increased destabilization across the region. Those who believe Israel shouldn’t attack Iran say doing so would further expand into a regional conflict, diminish the possibilities of future peace negotiations, and strain Israel’s relationship with key allies.

With this context, we debate the question: Should Israel Strike Iran?

Arguing Yes: Michael Doran, Senior Fellow and Director of the Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East, Hudson Institute

Arguing No: Shira Efron, Senior Director of Policy Research, Israel Policy Forum

Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates.
