Please join us on the evening of October 13th for a conversation with Elliot Kaufman on his recent book, In the War Room: The Inside Story of Israel’s Fight Against Hamas and the Iranian Axis. Elliot will be in conversation with Jesse Arm. We are delighted to cosponsor this event with the Hertog Foundation.
Drawing from their unique access to top Israeli and US officials, including secret intelligence sources, two journalists from The Jerusalem Post and The Wall Street Journal reveal how Israel came back from its lowest moment to outmaneuver Iran when it mattered most.
Light refreshments will be served.
