At this moment of war when so much of the region is in flux, it is important to recall the wisdom of the leaders who guided their nations to peace, underscoring the enduring value of the treaty they worked so hard to achieve. Toward that end, The Washington Institute is pleased to announce a virtual Policy Forum featuring:
The Honorable Reuven Rivlin, who served two stints as Speaker of Israel’s Parliament (Knesset) and was the country’s tenth President, from 2014 to 2021.
The Honorable Jawad al-Anani, former Chief of the Royal Court, Deputy Prime Minister, and Foreign Minister, Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
The Policy Forum series is made possible through the generosity of the Florence and Robert Kaufman Family.
