The Future of US-Israel Relations Under the Biden Administration

Register here [1].

The election of Joe Biden in the United States demonstrates a major shift in American public opinion following Trump’s one-term presidency. Emerging from a period of populist nationalism and ‘America First’ policies, experts predict that the new Biden Administration’s foreign policy agenda includes re-engagement with old allies and increased involvement at multilateral organizations like the UN and NATO. However, some fear that Biden’s policies could also include a new Iran Nuclear Deal and a rollback of Israel-friendly policies instituted under President Trump. What are the implications for the new Biden Administration on American foreign policy towards Israel and the Middle East as a whole? How will the Biden Administration approach Iran and the Palestinians? Will the Biden Administration continue to uphold many policies favorable towards Israel instituted under the Trump Administration?

Join the International Diplomacy Initiative on March 14, 2021 to learn the answers to these questions and more through the insight of Mr. Nadav Tamir, distinguished Israeli diplomat and policy experts, who will draw from his decades of expertise and first-hand experience working in American-Israeli relations.

The International Diplomacy Initiative (IDI) is an international, student-run nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing diplomacy throughout the world. Engaging students and practitioners with real-world diplomatic experience through lectures and other events, IDI seeks to provide the next-generation of diplomats with the skills needed to enact global change.

The Initiative cooperates with embassies, multilateral organizations, NGOs, and more to engage young people in Israel and around the world.
