The ceasefire agreement announced last week between Israel and Hezbollah hopefully brings to an end the war that began over a year ago and has killed thousands and displaced hundreds of thousands of people both in Israel and Lebanon. The weakening of Hezbollah and Iran has also allowed rebels to retake the Syrian city of Aleppo. In this Institute of Global Politics Rapid Response Webinar, an online panel of SIPA faculty and experts discuss the regional and global implications of the truce in Lebanon, as well as its potential impact in Syria, Gaza, and the wider region.

Speakers:
• Nadav Eyal, IGP Senior Research Scholar; Author of Revolt, the Worldwide Uprising Against Globalization; senior columnist for Yediot Ahronot Daily, Israel's most circulated newspaper
• Kim Ghattas, Inaugural IGP Carnegie Distinguished Fellow; Author of Black Wave and contributing writer for The Atlantic
