Following two years of political deadlock and four election cycles, a new Israeli government was sworn in, led by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Alternate Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid. The new government, the most diverse in Israel’s history, includes eight political parties from right to left, as well as the Ra’am Arab party.

As the new government takes its first steps, what will be the impact on Israel’s foreign policy? How will it respond to the Iran nuclear deal, the Palestinian conflict, and relations with the United States, Europe, and the new Arab allies? Two veteran Israeli journalists, Barak Ravid of Walla News and Tal Schneider of The Times of Israel, will join us to discuss the changing political landscape in Israel, and its effect on the country’s domestic and foreign policy. A moderated conversation will be followed by a Q&A session.
