Israel at a Crossroads | Ambassador Michael Oren

On the Eve of Tisha Be’Av, are the Jewish people repeating our mistakes of the past? 


Was Ambassador Ron Dermer right that Israel should be investing more time cultivating relationships with Evangelicals and less time with the Jewish community? 


Is Israel drifting away from the United States towards China and Russia? 
Have Israel’s peace agreements with its Arab neighbors impacted Israel’s internal politics? 
What happened to Benjamin Netanyahu? Is the man who was once considered a visionary statesman dragging Israel down a path of irreparable damage? 
Will Israel’s Haredi population take responsibility for its security and economy once they become the majority of Israel’s population?
How did Barak Obama and President Biden’s policies impact the Israeli electorate? 


All that and more in conversation with former Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren.
