JNS International Policy Summit

The inaugural JNS International Policy Summit, held in Jerusalem on April 27–28, 2025, brought together top Israeli and U.S. government officials, diplomats, security experts, and pro-Israel thought leaders to address Israel’s most pressing strategic challenges in a post-October 7 world. The summit featured high-level discussions on Israel’s global role, the U.S.-Israel relationship, antisemitism, regional sovereignty, and economic renewal. With participation from figures such as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer, and U.S. leaders like Ambassador Mike Huckabee and Fox’s Mark Levin, the summit served as a premier platform to shape policy and affirm Israel’s standing as a global power.

“Qatar is an enemy and a core part of the Muslim Brotherhood ideology,” said the minister for diaspora affairs and combating antisemitism.
“We must continue on this path for the sake of historical justice and for Israel’s eternal existence and security,” said Israel Ganz.
However, there will be “no stability and prosperity in the Middle East until we reach the head of the snake, Iran,” the Israeli energy minister said.
“A whole worldview led the chief of the Shin Bet to interpret accumulating signs of the gathering storm exactly backwards.”
Panelists discuss workforce integration, military service, and leadership shifts as the Haredi community faces growing internal and external pressures.
“We know Eitan is alive, and we expect to see him soon. But we are still at war with an enemy who wants to destroy us,” said Tzvika Mor, whose son Eitan was kidnapped on Oct. 7, 2023 and remains a captive in Gaza.
At JNS summit, the Netanyahu adviser calls for unapologetic defense of Jewish sovereignty and rejects failed peace paradigms.
Explaining the decision to sit out ICJ hearings, Gideon Sa’ar went on the offensive against U.N. antisemitism and its secretary-general.
“Either the Islamic Republic will dismantle its nuclear program voluntarily, or the free world will do it for them,” said Pastor John Hagee, founder of Christians United for Israel.
