On Day 2 of the JNS International Policy Summit at the Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem, the morning plenary, “Israel: A Global Superpower—AI, Tech & Innovation,” will focus on Israel’s role in artificial intelligence, high-tech and innovation.

The evening plenary, “Israel on the Global Stage: Foreign Affairs & Diplomacy,” will focus on Israel’s foreign relations, regional partnerships, defense strategy and role in the international arena.

The sessions feature Aryeh Lightstone, senior adviser to the U.S. special envoy for peace missions; Sam Grundwerg, world chairman of Keren Hayesod; Rabbi Kalman Samuels, founder of Shalva; former Israeli Finance Minister Dr. Yuval Steinitz; JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan S. Tobin; Caroline Glick, international affairs adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu; and other leaders in technology, diplomacy, philanthropy, national security and public affairs.

“The Strait of Hormuz is open to all ship traffic except for Iran,” the U.S. president wrote.
The amendment “would restrict our country’s ability to confront Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations in the region who are sworn enemies of both the United States and Israel,” the House minority leader said.
“We are prepared for any scenario,” the prime minister assured.
Melissa Chaudhry, who is running in Washington state as a Democrat but has said she would switch to the Green Party, told JNS that she was “forced into a corner by an aggressive and dishonest political opponent.”
Eyal Ostrinsky told JNS that the 125-year-old Zionist institution is broadening its support for Jewish communities worldwide, while reaffirming its mission of settlement, forestry and national development.
“This was just an opportunistic move and then not really sincere,” the Jewish congressman said of his fellow House Democrat.
