Our firm hosted a webinar focused on the current situation in Israel, following nearly two years of ongoing conflict and the recent removal of some of the major threats facing the country, most notably from Hezbollah and Iran. The discussion addressed Israel’s entry into a new geopolitical reality and explored pressing questions regarding the country’s future direction in the Middle East, as well as its diplomatic and security positioning on the global stage.
Speakers included Maj. Gen. (res.) Yaakov Amidror, former National Security Advisor to the Prime Minister of Israel and former Head of the Research Department in the IDF Directorate of Military Intelligence; Prof. Yossi Shain, former Member of Knesset (24th Knesset), founding head of Tel Aviv University’s School of Government, and Emeritus Professor of International Affairs at Georgetown University and author of several internationally acclaimed books; and Mr. Jeffrey Kahn, an international strategy expert who has held senior positions across global institutions and industries.
