Raising the Threshold: Asymmetric Coercion and Rules of the Game in the Israel-Hamas Conflict

Open to the Public

Speaker: Daniel Sobelman, Assistant Professor of International Relations, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

Drawing on the conflict between Israel and the Hamas-run Gaza Strip since the mid-2000s, this seminar will analyze the dynamics and the strategic implications of intra-war coercion in an asymmetric conflict between an established state and an emerging violent non-state actor. The speaker will examine Hamas's adoption of Hezbollah’s military doctrine and strategic vocabulary and explain the manner in which the Hamas movement has been able to harness its military capabilities to impose and threaten heavier costs on Israel while reducing Israel's freedom of action vis-a-vis the Gaza Strip.

Please join us! Coffee and tea provided. Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.
