Sunday, November 15, 2020 • 28 Cheshvan 5781
10:30 AM - 12:00 PMZoom
Israel’s parliamentarian democracy is facing an unprecedented dual challenge: an historically complex and prolonged political deadlock coupled with the need to manage a first-of-its-kind health crisis. What are the solutions and how can Israel’s uniquely vibrant democracy cope with both? In this presentation Ambassador Aharoni will address the unique characteristics of Israel’s political system, pointing to both its advantages and disadvantages trying to answer the question of what will happen in the foreseeable future.
Ambassador Ido Aharoni serves as Global Distinguished Professor for International Relations at New York University’s Graduate School of Art and Science. He is a member of the International Advisory Council of APCO Worldwide, founder of Emerson Rigby, an Israel-based full-service consultancy, Chairman of the Charney Forum for New Diplomacy and Global Ambassador for Maccabi World Union. Ambassador Aharoni is a 25-year veteran of Israel’s Foreign Service. He is a public diplomacy specialist, founder of the Brand Israel program, and a well-known nation branding practitioner. Ambassador Aharoni has been Israel’s longest serving Consul-General in New York and the tri-state area to date. He held that position for six years, overseeing the operations of Israel’s largest diplomatic mission worldwide.
