Syria’s Future : Key Strategic Challenges Ahead

The first strategic challenge in considering Syria’s future has to do with its very nature - will it be a nation-state, with a central government and institutions - both military and civilian - or will it split into several entities, along ethnic and geographical lines?
Then there is the challenge of Islamist and Jihadist forces hostile to Israel and the West - will they prolong the war which has torn Syria apart for almost 14 years by keeping the flames ablaze on various fronts?

All of the above, plus the influence of Turkey, Iran, Russia and others, will be analyzed by our panel, which today includes:
- Host : Jonathan Hessen : Senior Fellow, Hudson Institute and Host of TV7 Israel News
- Analyst : Amir Oren : TV7 Editor at Large and Host of Watchmen Talk
- BG (Res.) Yossi Kuperwasser : Project Director on Middle East Developments, The Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs
- Prof. Russell Berman : Senior Advisor in the US State Dept; Director of the Middle East Project, Hoover Institute
