Israel’s October election could prove to be one of the most consequential in the country’s history, reshaping not only Israel’s domestic politics, but its relationship with the United States and its role in a rapidly changing Middle East.
Join Columbia University SIPA Dean Keren Yarhi-Milo, former US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides, and leading Israeli journalist and Senior Research Scholar at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs Nadav Eyal for a timely conversation examining the election results, potential avenues for the next coalition/government, and how these elections will shape Israel's policies going forward.
Bringing together perspectives from academia, diplomacy, and journalism, the discussion will look beyond the immediate headlines and political maneuvering to ask the larger questions: What direction have Israeli voters chosen? What could the election mean for Israel’s relationship with Washington and the US, the Palestinians, and its regional partners? And after years of war and political upheaval, where does Israel go from here?
