About the Event
This fall, Israel and the United States will hold fateful elections. Join Dr. Avishay Ben Sasson-Gordis from the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) and Tel Aviv University as he analyzes the implications of the results of these elections for the relationship between the two countries — a relationship that has seen growing strain as well as unprecedented cooperation over the last few years.
