It’s not every day that a St. Louis native who’s advised world leaders, written bestsellers, and mapped out Middle East peace solutions hops on Zoom to chat. But on Tuesday, Dec. 17, at 7:30 p.m., David Makovsky is doing just that. Hosted by the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) and co-sponsored by Young Israel of St. Louis, this event is titled “From Beirut to Damascus to Gaza: A Look at the Implications of Seismic Shifts in the Mideast for the U.S. and Israel.”
For those unfamiliar with Makovsky’s resume, it’s the kind of thing that makes your LinkedIn profile look like a grocery list. Currently a Ziegler Distinguished Fellow at the Washington Institute and director of the Koret Project on Arab-Israel Relations, Makovsky has served as a senior advisor to the U.S. Special Envoy for Israeli-Palestinian Negotiations and testified before Congress on Middle East policy. Oh, and he’s a bestselling author and a TEDx speaker.
So, what’s on the docket for this webinar? Makovsky will unpack the profound changes happening in the Middle East and their ripple effects on U.S.-Israel relations. As a veteran journalist, policy expert, and commentator, he’ll provide insider insights and thoughtful analysis of one of the world’s most complex regions.
Got questions? Good news—you can submit them ahead of time when you register for the event. Whether you’re deeply invested in the intricacies of Israeli politics or just wondering how it all ties back to your news feed, this webinar promises an informative and engaging evening.
