The aftermath of the 7th of October and the war in the southern and northern regions have far-reaching implications for Israel, the Middle East, and the broader international order.

Since 7th October, the UK has assumed a pivotal role, emerging as one of the primary global powers engaged in resolving the crisis and shaping a post-war landscape.

In light of these developments and the new government in the UK, the conference will engage our community, allies, and thought leaders in reflecting on the situation in Israel, Palestine, and the wider region.

The conference will touch on questions like:

• What kind of Israel will emerge from this extended crisis?
• What role do Israel’s allies, including the U.K., have during and after the conflict?
• How are the shockwaves from October 7 and the war affecting Diaspora Jews’ identity, safety and their relationship with Israel?
• How do allies committed to liberal democracy relate to a hard-right Israeli government?
• Who are the Palestinian partners for building a common future?

Speakers from across Israeli and UK media, politics, academia, and leadership including:

• Ehud Olmert, Former Israeli Prime Minister
• Hamish Falconer MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary ofState
• Amos Shocken, Haaretz Publisher
