The Gaza war and an expanding zone of regional conflict have far-reaching implications for Israel, the Middle East, and the broader international order.
What kind of Israel will emerge from this extended crisis? What role do Israel's allies, including the U.K., have during and after the conflict? How are the shockwaves from October 7 and the war affecting Diaspora Jews' identity, safety and their relationship with Israel? How do allies committed to liberal democracy relate to a hard-right Israeli government? Who are the Palestinian partners for building a common future?
Haaretz's London conference will host prominent political leaders, analysts and activists from Israel and the U.K. to engage with the most pressing issues facing Israel and the Middle East today, and what a post-war landscape may look like.
Speakers from across Israeli and UK media, politics, academia, and leadership including:
- Ehud Olmert, Former Israeli Prime Minister
- Amos Shocken, Haaretz Publisher
- Aluf Benn, Haaretz Editor in Chief
- Esther Solomon, Editor in Chief Haaretz English
