Energy discoveries; new and emerging alliances; the fragile status of Libya; and evolving roles in regional stability are each helping to redefine the geopolitical fault lines for the Eastern Mediterranean. What does the current crisis in the Eastern Mediterranean mean for future EU-Turkey relations? What role is the US expected to play? How does strengthened cooperation between Greece-Egypt-Cyprus play out? And what will be the impact of new relations between the UAE, Bahrain and Israel? How will France’s increased involvement in East Mediterranean create new regional dynamics? This panel will bring together foreign policy and security experts, business executives, diplomats and political leaders to discuss the current crisis in the region and how de-escalation might lead to opportunity.
