Israelis vote on October 27, while Americans head to the polls a week later for midterm elections on November 3. On November 2, between the two elections, Michael Koplow, chief policy officer of the Israel Policy Forum, joins Chaim Saiman, professor of law and chair in Jewish Law, for a conversation about what these elections could mean for Israel, the United States and the relationship between the two countries, including:
- Why is the bipartisan consensus on Israel breaking down, and what do critics and supporters on the left and right get right?
- What will the next Israeli government mean for the relationship between the two countries, for Americans and for American Jews who feel increasingly distant from Israel?
- How will the Israeli-Palestinian conflict play in Democratic and Republican politics as we approach 2028 primaries?
- What should we make of several prominent politicians’ efforts to embrace their Jewish constituents while also questioning or rejecting American support for Israel?
- And how should campuses balance conflicting opinions, a commitment to free speech and the need to make every student feel part of the community?
