Haaretz Journalists Discuss Israel's Election and U.S.-Israel Ties in Brooklyn

Journalists discussed Israel's election and ties with American Jews at a Haaretz conference at Congregation Beth Elohim in Brooklyn on October 11. Defense analyst Amos Harel said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was fighting for his political survival and personal fate, while arguing that electoral defeat would not produce a wholesale reversal of Israeli policy. The organizer's program listed an election panel moderated by English-edition editor Yishai Halper and a later discussion of the U.S. midterms and U.S.-Israel relations. The event was scheduled for 1 to 4 p.m. local time.
