The James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) at the Middlebury Institute and the Nuclear Proliferation International History Project (NPIHP) at the Woodrow Wilson Center invite you to a half-day in-depth panel discussion on the nuclear dimension of the 1967 Six-Day War, interpreting the new historical material that NPIHP released last year for the 50th commemoration of the war.

• Leonard Spector, Director of the CNS Washington DC office, and James Hershberg, Professor of History and International Affairs at George Washington University, will offer opening remarks on behalf of CNS and NPIHP.
• An expert panel will follow, moderated by Leonard Spector, with four presentations:
  • Dr. Avner Cohen, Professor, Middlebury Institute, “The state of knowledge: What we know, what we think we know, and what we don’t know about the nuclear dimension of the 1967 War.”
  • Dr. Hassan Elbahtimy, Teaching Fellow, King’s College London, “Egypt, Dimona and the origins of the 1967 Arab-Israeli War.”
  • Adam Raz, Doctoral Candidate, Tel Aviv University, “Israel’s invisible nuclear debate prior to the war and its impact on the crisis.”
  • Dr. William Burr, Senior Analyst, National Security Archive, “What Washington did and did not know about Israeli nuclear capabilities at the time of the Six-Day War.”
