Jonathan Tobin, editor-in-chief at JNS, is scheduled to speak about the impact of U.S. President Donald Trump’s pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S.-Israel relations as part of an American Jewish University virtual event on April 7.

Tobin will speak at the free event with Rick Richman, a scholar-in-residence at the private Los Angeles school. According to the university, Tobin and Richman will discuss “whether Trump remains Israel’s strongest ally, or if the real concern lies elsewhere.”

The university stated that it will make a recording of the event, which is scheduled for April 7 at 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, available to those who register.
