Ronit Hasin-Hochman, CEO of the Jerusalem Post, “This is the fourth consecutive year we are holding the Jerusalem Post Conference, and we are excited that it is attracting so much interest among Jewish communities in the US. This is a wonderful opportunity for American Jewish leaders to hear firsthand about the burning issues surrounding the State of Israel and world Jewry from senior journalists and Israeli political and military leaders. This conference is one of the most significant and largest gatherings of Israeli and American decision-makers and policymakers. As is our custom, we have gone to great lengths to bring together participants with a wide variety of perspectives and views. Today, in light of the numerous hot issues at hand, we hope that this year’s conference will be of especially great interest.
