Join the Harriman Institute at Columbia University and the New York University Jordan Center for the Advanced Study of Russia for a discussion on Russia's role in the Israel-Gaza conflict. 

The devastating war between Israel and Gaza has raised new questions about Russia’s standing in the Middle East. While the Kremlin has been building bridges with both Israel and Palestine, it has become more critical of Israel recently. Has Russia’s strategy changed? Our panel of foreign policy experts will consider what leverage Russia still has in the conflict, how the Kremlin’s evolving stance affects its relationships with the regional powers and the Arab world more broadly as well as Russia’s calculus in its war against Ukraine. We will also discuss how the West can and should respond to Russia’s Middle Eastern policy.
