Happy first birthday to the Abraham Accords
One year ago in our presentation to this forum we described the Accord as a “Seismic shift in the Shtetl”. Today we propose to evaluate our predictions and make fresh forecasts of potential outcomes in light of this month’s chaotic changes in the zeitgeist of Middle Eastern geopolitics.
Our guest speakers: Peter Gacs and Ian Mansell
Peter Gacs is a retired diplomat with extensive experience in international affairs. His focus has included Russia, Western Europe, and also the Balkans during the Bosnian and Kosovan wars. He also had a posting to Argentina during the Falklands crisis.
Ian Mansell was born in North England in 1943 and came to Australia in 1952. Ian has many qualifications from business to yoga.
