Israel After the Election: A New Government and a Changing America
at Congregation Shirat Hayam

Israelis have voted, and Americans have just gone to the polls in the midterms. What do the results mean for Israel and for its relationship with the United States? Barak Sella will look at who will govern Israel and what a new coalition means for its direction and the region. The evening will include a short presentation followed by an open Q&A.

Barak Sella is a Senior Research Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, and one of the leading Israeli experts on Israel-U.S. relations and World Jewry. There he leads the new Israel Program at the Middle East Initiative, which studies Israel in the context of the wider region. His work focuses on Israel-U.S. relations, American Jewry, and antisemitism. He writes The Red Jew on Substack, and his writing has appeared in Jerusalem Post, Ynet, The Hill and the Journal of Democracy.
