Description
As the U.S.-Israel alliance turns 75, this vital relationship requires a strategic review to chart the path forward to the century mark. Israel is emerging as a critical power-magnifier for the United States in the Middle East, while America can continue to support Israel’s growth through security assistance and unequivocal support on the global stage. The relationship is, in fact, so significant to both partners that its development cannot be left to chance or to the mercy of a shifting political landscape but should be guided by a thoughtful, strategic roadmap encompassing shared security, economic, and cultural interests.
A reception will follow the program from 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. ET.
