The Middle East Forum cordially invites you to a webinar series with Ashley Perry.

Finally, Israel has a government, led by Binyamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz. Can they work together and govern effectively? Which parties make up the coalition? What are the main areas of consensus and of contention?

Join Ashley Perry each Wednesday at 3 pm Eastern Time for an update on all things Israeli, and ask your questions.
