Please note this webinar will not be recorded.
Join Yachad and the New Israel Fund UK on Sunday, June 22nd, 12:30-1:30 PM Eastern / 9:30-10:30 AM Pacific for a webinar on the conflict between Israel and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Together with expert speakers, we will consider the impact of the current crisis on Israelis and the wider region. What factors motivated the recent start of hostilities? What does it mean for Israelis now and in the longer term, and what are the possible political ramifications? Last but not least, we mustn’t forget the continued war and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the remaining 53 hostages, and the possible effects of the war with Iran on Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
Guests from our partners and leading Israeli think tanks Mitvim (NIFC-funded partner) and Molad, hosted by David Davidi-Brown, Chief Executive of NIF UK, will address the political, military and diplomatic aspects of the unfolding situation. Register on Zoom to join the briefing, which will not be recorded.
