EVENT DETAILS

One of the pivotal moments in the history of United States policy in the Middle East—the Suez Crisis of 1956—represented a major turning point in President Eisenhower’s understanding of foreign relations in the region. Join policy expert Michael Doran as he discusses America’s relationship with Egypt, Israel, and European colonial powers during the Crisis and traces the rise of the United States’ considerable involvement in Middle Eastern affairs, which remains a crucial topic of debate in contemporary American politics.

Michael Doran is a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute specializing in Middle East security issues. He is a former Middle East adviser in the White House and has served as deputy assistant secretary of defense. Roger Hertog (moderator) is President of the Hertog Foundation, Chairman of the Tikvah Fund, and Executive Committee Chairman at the New-York Historical Society.
