This program is presented in partnership with B’nai Vail

For more than twelve years, Ambassador Dennis Ross played a leading role in U.S. involvement in the Middle East peace process and was instrumental in assisting Israel and Palestine reach the 1995 Interim Agreements and in brokering the 1997 Hebron Accord.  He served Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama, and is currently the William Davidson Distinguished Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and teaches at Georgetown University’s Center for Jewish Civilization.

In this special program, Ambassador Ross helps us understand the current status of the conflict, the context in which it arose, the key players and where it may go from here.

The program will be moderated by veteran foreign correspondent and Emmy-award winning journalist Greg Dobbs, who spent the majority of his career as a foreign correspondent covering the Middle East.
