What do the growing tensions over Jerusalem and the creeping annexation encouraged by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu mean for the prospects for a two-state solution? What are the implications of President Trump's announcement recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital and his pledge to move the embassy? How can pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans take action to secure Israel's future as the democratic homeland of the Jewish people in 2018? Join us for a conversation with Alan Elsner, J Street's special advisor to the president, for a discussion about these critical topics and more.

Alan Elsner has had a long career at the top ranks of American and international journalism prior to joining J Street. As State Department and later White House correspondent for Reuters News Agency, Elsner traveled the world with Secretaries of State and was on first name terms with presidents and vice presidents. His sharp questioning during the Rwanda genocide forced the United States to change its policy and was later highlighted in the Hollywood movie “Hotel Rwanda.” As Reuters National Correspondent, Elsner was the agency’s chief writer on 9/11/2001. Elsner is the author of two novels and two works of non-fiction.
