There is more to the relationship between the U.S. and Israel than just political gesturing. American diplomat and author Dennis Ross explains how international obligation, political tradition, and emotional attachment all enter into the equation when taking on long-standing problems in the Middle East.
Former Amb. Ross will speak about U.S. presidents' varying attitudes toward Israel at the Plaza branch of the Kansas City Public Library at 7 p.m. on May 9th. The event inaugurates the Truman & Israel Lecture Series. For more information, visit TrumanLibraryInstitute.org.
