Wednesday, December 16, 2026 at 7:00 PM · Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at FAU, Jupiter
President Trump has laid out a vision for a peaceful Gaza that would emerge after the war between Hamas and Israel—a transformed, thriving metropolis envisioned as the “Riviera of the Middle East.” But what progress has been made toward achieving that vision? Has Israel’s objective of destroying Hamas been accomplished? Who will govern Gaza? How will millions of Palestinians be housed, fed, and employed? And has the terror threat to Israel’s security truly been eliminated? Dr. Bard will examine these critical questions and discuss the developments surrounding Gaza, the challenges ahead, and what the future may hold for the region.
