In a structurally unstable region, recent gas discoveries in the eastern Mediterranean region have whetted appetites for power and awakened dormant conflicts. The territorial dispute between Greece and Turkey, the insoluble Cypriot case, the Franco-Turkish strategic disagreements and the Israeli apprehensions combine to fuel rumors of war. These prospects are further degraded by the still massive flow of Syrian refugees and the economic collapse of Lebanon. Can the situation further deteriorate? Do we risk a military confrontation and if so, between which protagonists? What role can Europe play to break this deadlock?
Chair : Thomas Gomart, director of Ifri.
This debate is for corporate members only. It will be conducted in French.

What assessment can we make of the previous Commission’s achievements and challenges in navigating Sino-American technological competition, transatlantic dependencies, and emerging global partnerships?
