U.S. Election 2024: Views from the Middle East
A panel of outstanding journalists from across the Middle East offers regional perspectives on the 2024 presidential election in the United States and the next administration's approach to critical issues of war and peace. Watch live starting at 12:00 noon EST (1700 GMT) on Thursday, November 7, 2024.
With this year’s election nearing its dramatic conclusion, America’s allies and adversaries in the Middle East are watching the campaigns closely for signs of how the outcome will affect what has been an equally dramatic year for their region. This includes questions about whether the next administration will shift direction on critical issues of war and peace, and whether it will face a compliant or combative Congress. Indeed, even uncertainty about the results of what appears to be a dead-heat vote will send powerful ripples throughout an already tense and conflict-ridden region.
To provide Middle Eastern perspectives on these issues, The Washington Institute is pleased to announce a virtual Policy Forum featuring a panel of outstanding journalists from across the region:
- Nadim Koteich, general manager, Sky News Arabia
- David Horovitz, founding editor, Times of Israel
- Barcin Yinanc, independent journalist; former opinion editor at Hurriyet Daily News and editor at CNN Turk
The Policy Forum series is made possible through the generosity of the Florence and Robert Kaufman Family.
