This webinar explores Trump’s “peace proposal,” the latest UN Security Council resolution, and their significance for the future of Gaza. Featuring Phyllis Bennis and Richard Falk, the discussion examines developments on the ground, the role of the United States and the United Nations, and the current situation in Gaza and the West Bank.

This event examines the Trump administration’s new National Security Strategy—an explicit departure from the post-1945 bipartisan foreign-policy consensus and a formal expression of Trumpism’s imperial, white-nationalist, and transactional worldview. Featuring Joseph Gerson and Khury Petersen-Smith, both leading analysts of U.S. militarism and global power, the discussion explores how the strategy reshapes U.S. roles in the Middle East, the Pacific, and beyond, and highlights movements resisting the violence of American empire.
