Escalation is looming in the Middle East. Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu and Iran’s leader Khamenei are heading for a head-on collision: war. Will they find the last exit?
When 41 men and 14 women met secretly in a five-star hotel on Tel Aviv’s beach promenade to play war, no one was talking about the war in Gaza. The high-profile international group of former intelligence agents and diplomats, all of them well-known experts on the Middle East, asked themselves: How would Iran react to a severe blow from Israel in its interior? The simulation ended in a catastrophe, the armed conflict between two nuclear powers, the USA against Iran. When the secret meeting became public, hardly anyone took notice. Such thoughts seemed too apocalyptic back then, in July 2023.
