Geoffrey Kemp, director of regional security problems at the Center for National Interest, will host a Middle East Update at 4 p.m. today and Tuesday in the Hall of Philosophy. After each update, Kemp and guests will take questions from the audience.

“It’s a huge menu of issues, and we only have an hour. So we’ll have more than enough to talk about,” Kemp said.

Today’s guest, Robert Satloff, is executive director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. He has written or edited nine books and contributes to a variety of newspapers. Satloff is also the Institute’s Howard P. Berkowitz Chair in U.S. Middle East Policy.
