World Affairs Council of the Monterey Bay presents: “Reflections About Israel, Iran & the Gaza War” Luncheon Lecture on Friday, September 26th, 2025. 11:30 am Registration ~12:00 pm Lunch~12:30 pm Presentation. 

Avner Cohen, widely known for his path-breaking history of the Israeli nuclear program, is an Israeli-American author and expert on nonproliferation issues, focusing on the Middle East. 

In his presentation he will discuss how the October 7 HAMAS attack on Israel, the Israel – Iran War, and the ongoing Gaza War are re-defining conflict and security in the region. Professor Cohen is not an armchair commentator. He was in Israel most recently when Iran fired missiles at Jerusalem after the Israeli and American attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities in June of this year.
