High school students who are part of a weeklong Georgetown University summer program in international affairs attended a talk on Tuesday at the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C.

About 50 students who came to the International Relations Academy from across the globe heard from Efrat Hochstetler, counselor for public diplomacy, and had the chance to ask her questions, the embassy’s deputy spokeswoman Einav Hadari told JNS.

The group wanted to know how Hochstetler’s role has changed, how a diplomatic career can affect personal life and how embassies around the world differ, according to Hadari.

In a break with longstanding practice, the New York City mayor does not plan to join the parade this year.
The legislation, which aims to shield educational institutions from disruptive protests, passed the council in March without a veto-proof majority.
“We have to stop the defense,” the Florida congressman said. “You’re not going to mess with us.”
“The whole world has seen Iran was building up a conventional capability where they would have so many missiles and so many drones that they could overwhelm anybody’s defenses,” the U.S. secretary of state said.
“We degraded Iran’s ability to project power outside its borders and threaten the region and threaten our interests,” Adm. Brad Cooper stated.
The City Hall rep told JNS that the New York City mayor decries “displays of support for terrorist organizations.”
