The continuing upheaval in the Middle East, from the downfall of Moammar Gadhafi in Libya to the uprisings in Syria and Yemen, is keeping political scientists on their toes. One country that is feeling these changes acutely is Israel. On October 25 on FORA.tv, the Monitor Breakfast will host Michael Oren, the Israeli ambassador to the United States. Oren will touch on the current political situation in the Middle East and address the recent, historic prisoner exchange between his country and Hamas.

While the worst of the 2008 financial crisis seems to have passed, fundamental problems with the global economy remain. The United States and Japan are suffering under the weight of enormous public debt, and several European countries, on the verge of bankruptcy, are implementing severe austerity measures to survive. On October 26 to27, FORA.tv presents the Buttonwood Gathering, an event sponsored by The Economist, that will bring together leading members of the international finance community to discuss the world’s current economic imbalance.
