Hear from Elhanan Miller, former Arab affairs correspondent at the Times of Israel, on what prospects lie ahead for Israelis and Palestinians after the latest round of Israeli elections.

He has a master’s degree in Middle East history and Islamic Studies from Hebrew University and is fluent in English, Hebrew, Arabic and French. He regularly comments on Israeli politics on Al-Jazeera, BBC, and Israel’s public broadcaster Kan. 

Come and enjoy drinks and canapes and an important discussion with one of Israel's leading experts on the Middle East and the Arab world.
