Gregg Roman will take a frank look at the world America now confronts and the choices that will define the next decade. The Middle East of 2027 is not the Middle East of 2024. War with Iran, the collapse of old assumptions, the reshuffling of regional alliances, and the return of great power competition have rewritten the map. Washington is catching up. A new Congress sits in session. The Trump administration enters its final two years. The 2028 primary field is taking shape. Every one of these forces will pull at American foreign policy, and the Middle East will feel the pressure first.
Gregg Roman is the Executive Director of the Middle East Forum. In 2014, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency named him one of the “ten most inspiring global Jewish leaders.” He previously served as the political advisor to the Deputy Foreign Minister of Israel and worked for the Israeli Ministry of Defense. A frequent speaker on Middle East affairs, Mr. Roman appears on international news channels such as Fox News, i24NEWS, Al-Jazeera, BBC World News, and Israel’s Channels 12 and 13. He studied national security and political communications at American University and the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, and has contributed to The Hill, Newsweek, the Los Angeles Times, the Miami Herald, and the Jerusalem Post.
