Senior diplomats from more than 60 countries convened at BIU’s 15th Ambassadors’ Forum to hear about “Israel’s New Normal? Expanding International and Regional Ties” from Col. (res) Dr. Eran Lerman, former deputy chief of the National Security Council and senior IDF Military Intelligence division director. Now a senior research associate at BIU’s Begin-Sadat (BESA) Center for Strategic Studies, Lerman stated that in addition to the commonality of values and strategic interest and concerns which Israel shares with the US and Canada, it has “tools of cooperation” such as gas resources, state-of-the-art agricultural technology and other vital assets that have brought it closer to other countries.
