Thursday October 29th Meeting #751
Open Forum – The Relationship Between Israel and United States Post Israeli Election Results
Even though we do not have the final results in Israel’s election, i.e., who will be able to form a coalition government – Bibi Netanyahu (Likud Party) or Gadi Eisenkot (Yashar Party) -- we thought it appropriate to opine on what could/would be the impact on immediate issues festering in Israel’s backyard at this time, depending on who runs the government!?! Starter topic questions, to aid a robust discussion by all, are:
1. What will either party’s approach be to Gaza or the issues confronting its disenfranchised population? Do you see any U.S. involvement in this process?
2. Is there a two-state solution in the Palestinians’ future? Do you see any U.S. involvement in this process?
3. How do you see the West Bank issues resolving in the short- and long-term under a Likud or Yashar government? Do you see any U.S. involvement in this process?
4. What do you think Trump is going to do about his fiasco with Iran after U.S. elections? What will Israel do about its involvement with the Iran war, regardless of U.S. position?
NOTE: Lorraine Keed and Tom Berry will lead/moderate the discussion and look forward to your feedback and views. If possible, please take a moment to jot down your thoughts in advance for all participants to have the opportunity to adequately and succinctly express themselves in this Open Forum.

Statement on Free Speech
Our constitution and laws encourage the freest possible exchange of opinions, ideas, and information. In part, that recognizes our worth and dignity as human beings. To forbid us to speak our minds demeans us and makes us more like slaves or robots than citizens of a free country. But as important as freedom of expression is for us as individuals, it is perhaps more important to society at large.
