News Bulletins

The Bulletin updates our readership on the recent activities of the BESA Center.

Below are the ten most widely read articles published by the BESA Center in 2018. The selections reflect strong reader interest in Iran, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and Israeli national defense – as well as in the possibility of an end to global energy scarcity. 
The BESA Center has been ahead of the curve in its attention to the problem of UNRWA, the organization ostensibly tasked with solving the Palestinian refugee problem but largely responsible for its perpetuation. In view of President Donald Trump’s recent decision to cut all US funding for UNRWA, we present a digest of BESA’s coverage of the issue.
BESA Center associates participated in numerous public forums and international media discussions surrounding the fiftieth anniversary in June of the Six Day War. They also penned a dozen critical examinations of the war and its legacy. They see the jubilee as an opportunity for strategic retrospection and truth-telling, not hand-wringing and self-flagellation.
A summary of the center’s activities in 2016, including seven conferences, eight guest lectures, 60 new publications, and more. Prof. Efraim Karsh, the new director of the center, takes his piercing pen to the Oslo peace process – “one of the worst-ever calamities to have hit Israelis and Palestinians.”
Read in the January 2016 issue of the BESA Center News Bulletin about the expansion of the center's expert faculty and its activities, including articles on: Securing Jerusalem. Middle East Chaos. Israel's Natural Gas Reserves. Gaza Disengagement. US-Israel Relations in the Final Obama Stretch. Strategic Dialogues with Germany and Australia. New Associates: General Hacohen and Col. Lerman.
