David Frum: Israel-Hamas Conflict and Its Global Implications
Leading author, journalist, and thinker David Frum and The Hub’s editor-at-large Sean Speer discuss the latest developments in efforts to resolve the Israel-Hamas war in light of the anniversary of the October 7th attacks. They examine whether President Trump’s negotiating approach will lead to a sustainable peace, including whether Hamas’s radical ideological commitments will ultimately stand in the way.
In the second half, they explore how the conflict has revealed deeper problems in Western societies, including the breakdown of rational discourse, the weaponization of information warfare, and underlying anti-Western sentiment that manifests as antisemitism.
David Frum, senior editor at The Atlantic and former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, offers sharp, historically grounded insights into American conservatism, global politics, and the challenges of democratic governance. With his deep experience and fearless commentary, Frum is a compelling speaker for anyone seeking to understand the future of democracy at home and abroad. To book David Frum, contact WWSG.
