Israel, The Search for Peace and the Arab Spring

Former Prime Minister of the State of Israel Ehud Olmert

Tuesday, November 12, 2013

4:30pm | Cook Auditorium, Murdough

 

While prime minister of Israel 2006-2009, Ehud Olmert came perhaps closer than any Israeli leader to forging peace with the Palestinians and also led his country through armed confrontations with Hamas and Hezbollah. A critic of the Netanyahu government’s posture toward Iran, he is a keen observer of the Arab world and will discuss Israel's strategic situation and its prospects for peace with its neighbors amid the turmoil of the Arab Spring.
