Israel’s Hard-right Turn: Implications for Its Foreign Policy

Israel’s Hard-right Turn: Implications for Its Foreign Policy

Virtual Member-Only Briefing

Tuesday, January 17, 2023 | 12:00 PM – 1:15 PM ET

On November 1st, 2022, Benjamin Netanyahu (Bibi), the former Israeli prime minister who is still on trial for corruption, won the country’s election with a narrow majority thanks to the support of parliamentary allies in far-right parties. As a result, Israel now has the most right-wing government in its history. What can we expect from this right-wing government regarding its policy toward the Palestinians in Gaza? Given the conservative view of far-right parties toward Palestinians, where do we see the future of the Abraham Accords and the Gulf-Israeli relations? How will this dynamic affect Israel – U.S. relations? Join us for a virtual, private conversation with Dr. Michael Koplow, Chief Policy Officer at Israel Policy Forum from 12 PM to 1.15 PM ET on Tuesday, January 17, 2023, to discuss these questions and more.
