In addition to Waltz, the Town Hall conversation includes CNN Global Affairs Analyst Brett McGurk, who previously served as U.S. National Security Council Coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa; CNN National Security Analyst Beth Sanner, who previously served as Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Mission Integration; and CNN Military Analyst Lt. General Mark Schwartz, U.S. Army (ret.), who previously served as U.S. Security Coordinator for Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
