He will discuss the roots of this crisis off the coast of Florida, a unique combination of domestic politics and global strategic calculations. He will explore paths forward that could include a bilateral bargain over significant economic and political reforms, a humanitarian military intervention—or continuing drift, impoverishment, and massive emigration by frustrated Cuban youth. www.wacmb.org or call (831) 643-1855 5:30pm Registration • 6pm Dinner • 7pm Program Reservations Required • Registration closes on Friday, July 24th, 2026, 5pm $50 for members • $65 for guests - WACMB will accept auditors to this event Hilton Garden Inn - Big Sur Room 1000 Aguajito Road, Monterey Visit our website www.wacmb.org for information and reservations World Affairs Council of the Monterey Bay Area September Lunch Event “Reflections About Israel, Iran & the Gaza War” Friday, September 26 Professor Avner Cohen Senior Fellow, James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies Middlebury Institute of International Studies Avner Cohen, widely known for his path-breaking history of the Israeli nuclear program, is an Israeli-American author and expert on nonproliferation issues, focusing on the Middle East.
