Friends,
It feels that we are at another make-or-break moment.
After weeks of stalled negotiations, diplomats are back at the table working to hammer out a deal to free the hostages and end a war that has dragged on far too long.
Dr. Shira Efron and former Egyptian diplomat Ambassador Hesham Youssef know the strategic calculations and political pressures at play – and tomorrow they’ll join us to pull back the curtain on what’s at stake, what’s standing in the way and how President Biden and other regional actors can help get both sides to yes.
Register here to join us tomorrow at 2pm Eastern / 11am Pacific >>
Calling in from Cairo, Ambassador Hesham Youssef has a deep understanding of the regional players’ interests and motivations, as well as the various factors that have prevented a deal from coming together sooner.
Dr. Shira Efron, a policy expert with a special focus on US relations with the Middle East, can deliver critical insight into the state-of-play on internal Israeli politics and the role of the Biden Administration in ensuring a deal is reached.
As J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami wrote yesterday: “Now is the time for leadership grounded in courage and confidence.”
“No excuses. No blame game. The full force and leverage of Israel’s greatest ally, the United States, brought to seal a deal and chart a course toward a better future for all.”
Register now, and tune in tomorrow to hear from Shira and Hesham >>
Best,
Adina Vogel Ayalon
Chief of Staff and VP, J Street
