⏳ TODAY at 2:00 PM ET: 🔔 Happening Today: Has the Debacle Broken the US–Israel Relationship?

Ahead of important elections in both countries, the alliance is under scrutiny like never before, turning a once-unshakable relationship into a live political flashpoint.

Join us to discuss whether this war is forcing a rethink of unconditional support and what a more conditional relationship centred on national interests would mean for the future of foreign policy.

🔹Jon Hoffman of Cato Institute
🔹Annelle Sheline of Quincy Institute
🔹Yonatan Touval of Mitvim Institute

President Trump vowed to upend the liberal international order. He failed to do so, only offering a more militant and unilateral version of globalism.

Is there a better alternative suitable to a shifting global balance of power? How should Washington recalibrate its grand strategy for a changing world?

Join us for a fireside discussion, moderated by Kelley B. Vlahos of Quincy Institute featuring Dr. Charles Kupchan of Council on Foreign Relations and Dr. Arta Aryafaraz of Institute for Peace & Diplomacy (IPD) on the future of world order and U.S. statecraft.
