Israel votes tomorrow. Americans vote next Tuesday. On Wednesday night, in between the two, we're hosting a conversation about what the midterms could mean for Israel.
Joel Rubin is a Democrat. He was a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the Obama administration and later ran the American Jewish Congress. Joel Rayburn is a Republican. He was the US special envoy for Syria in the Trump administration and is now a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute. Uri Zehavi moderates, and the two Joels talk with each other.
We'll cover four things:
Aid and security cooperation. What each party wants to keep, and what could change.
Iran. How a new Congress could shape American policy on it.
Bipartisan support. How solid support for Israel is in Congress, and where the two parties agree.
Pro-Israel voters who feel pushed out. What each party is getting wrong with them, antisemitism in its own ranks included, and what it would take to win them back.
Neither guest is a candidate. Both get the same questions and the same time, and we won't be talking about races or candidates.
AIC does not endorse or oppose any candidate or party. Our guests speak for themselves.
It's Wednesday 28 October, 7:30 to 8:30 PM ET, with time for your questions. It's free for everyone. Register and we'll email you the Microsoft Teams link. On a computer you join in Chrome or Edge, no account needed. On a phone or tablet you'll need the free Teams app. The conversation will be recorded.
