Ambassador Ronen Hoffman, Ph.D., President of the EIS Council, scholar, and former Israeli diplomat, will offer an in-depth perspective on the evolving Middle East and the shared Israeli-American path forward at a time of profound regional transformation:

  “Leading Through Resilience: A Shared Israeli-American Path in a Shifting Middle East”

About the roundtable:

Israel and the United States are navigating one of the most consequential periods in the modern Middle East – marked by internal political realignments, leadership debates, and rapidly evolving regional dynamics. From the war in Gaza to shifting regional alliances and renewed great-power engagement, the challenges facing the region are increasingly interconnected. This talk will explore the deeper forces shaping the current moment, examine how domestic pressures in both Israel and the United States interact with regional security realities, and consider how resilience – political, societal, and strategic – can serve as a foundation for a shared Israeli-American path forward. The discussion will outline possible scenarios for the alliance’s role in shaping stability, security, and opportunity in the Middle East in the months and years ahead.
