The Iran War and Israel’s Election: What Comes Next?

Israel and the Middle East are entering a new chapter. The war with Iran has reshaped the region’s strategic landscape, while Israel’s October election has given voters an opportunity to chart a new political direction. What do the election results tell us about the future of Israeli politics, and what will they mean for Israel’s security and leadership?

Drawing on decades of experience at the highest levels of U.S. foreign policy and Middle East diplomacy, Ambassador Ross will assess the implications of Israel’s election and the aftermath of the war with Iran. How might Israel’s new political landscape affect the U.S.-Israel relationship? What opportunities exist for regional cooperation and the Abraham Accords? What lies ahead for Gaza and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? And what role can diplomacy play in shaping the next chapter for Israel and the broader Middle East?

Join us for a timely and insightful analysis of the forces reshaping Israel and the region, and what they mean for the future. A Q&A will follow.
