The international system is less stable than at any time in recent decades. In the Middle East, Israel is taking the offensive in response to Hamas’s unconscionable terrorist attacks on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret. In Europe, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine shows no signs of abating after 20 months of grinding conflict. And from the Balkans to the Caucasus, long-festering tensions risk exploding into all-out war. In these trying times, the transatlantic alliance is crucial for maintaining a favorable balance of power in Eurasia and ensuring that the United States–led international system endures. 

Hudson is delighted to host one of the West’s foremost strategists, National Security Advisor of the Czech Republic and former Czech Ambassador to Israel Tomáš Pojar for a fireside chat on the most pressing issues of the day. He’ll be joined in conversation by Peter Rough, senior fellow and director of Hudson’s Center on Europe and Eurasia, to discuss Czech-US relations, the future of the transatlantic alliance, Israel’s war against Hamas’s terror, the war in Ukraine, and the politics of Central and Eastern Europe.
