As Israel continues to navigate a complex and evolving confrontation with Iran, Afeka – The Academic College of Engineering in Tel Aviv hosted a webinar bringing together leading experts to assess the strategic, technological, and security implications of the conflict.

The discussion featured Retired Maj. Gen. Danny Rothschild, former deputy director of military intelligence and Chairman of Afeka’s Board of Trustees, alongside Dr. Ori Nissim Levy, Chairman of the World Nuclear Forum and a lecturer at Afeka. Together, they provided a comprehensive analysis of the military campaign, the status of Iran’s nuclear capabilities, and the broader regional implications of the conflict.

Speakers addressed key developments, including Israel’s coordinated military operations, the resilience of its defense systems, and the ongoing challenge posed by Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile. The conversation also explored potential future scenarios — from continued military engagement to diplomatic outcomes — and highlighted the uncertainty surrounding the near-term security landscape.

Beyond the immediate security context, the webinar underscored the critical role of engineering, technology, and academic expertise in supporting national resilience. As a leading engineering institution, Afeka continues to serve as a platform for informed dialogue on the intersection of technology, security, and society.
