Great Decisions: American Foreign Policy in the Middle East

America's Global Affairs Discussion Program

Great Decisions is America's largest discussion on world affairs. Forsyth County Public Library and the University of North Georgia (UNG) will present information and lead discussions on a range of fascinating and timely geopolitical topics selected by the Foreign Policy Association. 

This week’s topic is American Foreign Policy in the Middle East: Taking Stock and Looking Ahead presented by Dr. Jon Miner.

The war in Gaza has brought the region to a crossroads. What are the possible outcomes of the war, and how might the United States use its influence to shape a long-term settlement that leaves both Israel and the Palestinians in a better position? How might Arab states in the wider region be brought into a settlement? What are America’s interests in the Middle East and how can it advance them?
