Topic: American Foreign Policy in the Middle East: Taking Stock and Looking Ahead - 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?   

The local Hillsboro group meets at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Washington County, 6815 NE Birch St, Hillsboro on the first and third Saturdays during February through May. Each meeting is at 10:00 am in the church social hall. Coffee and snacks provided.
