Join the JCRC of Greater Washington Friday, June 20 at 11:00 AM for a virtual conversation with Ambassador Dennis Ross analyzing the escalating war between Israel and Iran. Topics discussed will include Israel’s immediate and long-term goals, what role the United States is playing and more. Ambassador Ross is William Davidson Distinguished Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. He also teaches at Georgetown University’s Center for Jewish Civilization. Ambassador Ross has more than two decades of diplomatic experience, leading U.S. involvement to shape the Middle East peace process in both the George H.W. Bush and Clinton administrations. He was instrumental in helping Israelis and Palestinians reach the 1995 Interim Agreement; he also successfully brokered the 1997 Hebron Accord, facilitated the 1994 Israel-Jordan peace treaty, and intensively worked to bring Israel and Syria together. He served two and half years as special assistant to President Obama and as National Security Council senior director for the Central Region, spending the first six months of the administration as the special advisor on Iran to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. |
