The ongoing war in Gaza, a delicate ceasefire in Lebanon, a political changeover in Syria and heightened tensions in the Red Sea and Horn of Africa threaten to spill over into a wider regional conflict in the Middle East. At the same time, the region finds itself caught in the middle of a geoeconomic competition between superpowers.

What does the path to peace, security and cooperation look like in the Middle East?

This session was developed in collaboration with CNN International.

Speakers: Varsen Aghabekian, Asaad Hasan AlShaibani, Rebecca Anderson, Fuad Hussein, Ayman Al Safadi, Jean-Noël Barrot
