At the outset of todays event on behalf of myself and my colleagues at the Washington Institute, i want to extend our condolences to the innocent victims of last weekends horrific terrorist attack by hamas. The 900 or so israelis and others from around the world including what appears to be 11 confirmed americans, to all of them and their families, to the people of israel, to all civilized people around the world outraged by what we have seen, the barbarity of what we have seen this weekend, i extend our deepest condolences. I believe there is an Inflection Point going on in the middle east at the moment. That is analogous to the Inflection Point of 9 11, and this will require us to rethink many of the presumptuous the presumptions, the paradigm with which we in the United States, many of us as experts come up coached politics approached politics and conflict in the region. I will introduce our panelists in a moment. We have a terrific group tod

On targets in gaza. I didnt hear anything else coming from hamas about this, but is a real serious possibility. I would end up by saying that we have entered this confrontation in a situation where we have a government and mainly a Prime Minister who is discredited, who is not trusted via, i would say, modern possible duration.
