America and the Middle East in the 1970s: From the Yom Kippur War to the Camp David Accords
The Richard Nixon Foundation and the Truman Institute at Hebrew University in Jerusalem will jointly host a symposium exploring the consequential impacts and effects of the 1973 Yom Kippur War on the implementation of the Nixon administration’s foreign policy grand strategy, specifically how the U.S. airlift to Israel and subsequent diplomatic overtures to Egypt, Syria and Jordan helped diminish the influence of the Soviet Union in the Middle East, setting the stage for a peace process that led to the 1978 Camp David Accords.
Participants Include:
Norm Coleman, Chairman of the Republican Jewish Coalition and former U.S. Senator from Minnesota
Yossi Gal, Hebrew University Vice President for University Advancement and External Relations and former Ambassador to the Netherlands for Israeli
Ifat Maoz, Head of The Harry S. Truman Research Institute for the Advancement of Peace
Dan Meridor, former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Intelligence, of Justice and of Finance for Israel
Or Rabinowitz, Senior Lecturer at the Hebrew University Department of International Relations
Frank Gannon (Moderator), former Special Assistant to President Richard Nixon
