Jewish News to co-host JW3 event with Tzipi Livni

Jewish News will co-host a talk with former Israeli minister and opposition leader Tzipi Livni later this month.

Organised by Choose Democracy in partnership with JW3 and Jewish News, the Q&A event will see Livni, who has held eight Israeli cabinet posts, discuss the unprecedented challenges currently facing the state.

Livni was elected to the Knesset in 1999 and held numerous ministerial and political positions including Minister of Foreign Affairs and Vice Prime Minister, Minister of Justice and leader of the opposition. Following the 2009 elections Livni’s Kadima party won the most seats but could not form a government.

After her retirement from politics in 2019 she became a Fisher Family Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School.

JW3’s Raymond Simonson said: “I am very pleased to be working with the Choose Democracy coalition and Jewish News to bring one of the most experienced living Israeli politicians – who has held more senior government positions than any other woman in Israel’s history – to London to address the community.

Tickets for the event (in person and online), which takes place on Thursday 30 March, available HERE
