How can we best understand Israel’s quest for peace in the face of raging regional changes? Ido Aharoni, Consul General of Israel in New York, will give an insider’s view of the current geo-political map with this question in mind. As a 20-year veteran of the Israeli Foreign Service and a former negotiator in the peace process, Aharoni will explore the implications of the current wave of social-political-economic unrest that dramatically affects the entire Arab world. By introducing the concept of nation-branding, he hopes to bring about a paradigm shift with regard to Israel’s public image. Due to space constraints, CUID required for admission, or advance registration for alumnae (please RSVP to alumnaeaffairs@barnard.edu or 212.854.2005.)
