The 8th Annual Conference of the Mitvim Institute "Building Hope – Choosing the Diplomatic Path"

We are honored to invite you to the 8th Annual Conference of the Mitvim Institute, in collaboration with the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, to be held on November 13th, from 16:00 to 20:00, at the Rabin Center in Tel Aviv.

The conference will gather political leaders, senior diplomats, policy planners, and leading experts from Israel and abroad to discuss the building of hope — how Israel can emerge from its current diplomatic abyss and embark on a new political path, based on strategic initiative and control over its own destiny.
